Judge Juliet P. Howard, a distinguished figure on the Kings County Housing Court, has announced her candidacy for Judge of the Kings County Civil Court representing Brooklyn’s 6th Municipal District. This district covers communities like Prospect Heights, Park Slope, Crown Heights, Flatbush, East Flatbush, Kensington, and Midwood.
A Platform Focused on Fairness and Community
Appointed to the Housing Court in 2021, Judge Howard brings more than 25 years of expertise in public interest law to her campaign.
Her campaign has quickly gained professional support. The Judiciary Committee of the New York City Bar Association recently rated her as “Approved,” praising her fairness, impressive experience, and dedication to justice.
A Judge Who Listens
During her campaign launch, Judge Howard noted that although citywide offices tend to make headlines, the outcomes of local judicial races most directly affect New Yorkers’ daily lives.
“While the Mayor’s race may get much of the attention this election cycle, local judicial races are just as vital,” Howard remarked. “The Civil Court is where residents seek help with housing, family, and small claims. Each Brooklynite deserves a fair, compassionate judge who truly listens to their concerns.”
From Sugar Hill to the Courts of Brooklyn
A Harlem native from Sugar Hill, Howard credits her mother and grandmother for influencing her sense of justice and service. Her mother’s 45-year tenure in the Civil Court introduced Howard to empathy and equitable access to justice at a young age.
She holds a B.A. from Barnard College, a J.D. from Brooklyn Law School, and an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from The City College of New York. Before joining the Kings County Housing Court, she worked at The Legal Aid Society’s Civil Division and as a court attorney in the New York State Unified Court System.
Promoting Access and Equity
Judge Howard also serves as co-chair of the Kings County Subcommittee of the NYC Equal Justice Implementation Committee, advocating to reduce bias and increase diversity within the judiciary.
She is well-regarded for her patient and approachable demeanor, ensuring even the most vulnerable parties know their rights are protected.
