The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York announced on April 3 that the Honorable Jil Mazer-Marino has been appointed as Chief Judge, effective immediately.
This leadership change marks a significant moment for the court, as it continues its work in overseeing bankruptcy cases and supporting the administration of justice in the region.
The court also expressed appreciation to outgoing Chief Judge Alan S. Trust, who has served in this role since 2020. The statement from the court highlighted gratitude to Trust “for making many contributions to the Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York and nationally to the administration of justice.”
As Mazer-Marino steps into her new responsibilities, she is expected to continue guiding the court through complex legal matters while maintaining its standards of service. The announcement concluded with an invitation: “Please join us in welcoming Chief Judge Jil Mazer-Marino in her new role and thanking Chief Judge Trust for his exemplary dedicated service to the Judiciary.”
