Battle for the Bench: Williams and Eze vie for Kings County Court seats

Acting Supreme Court Justice and Family Court Judge in Kings County (Brooklyn), Jacqueline Williams, and lawyer Chide Eze are vying for seats on the Kings County Supreme Court and Civil Court, respectively.

After nearly 25 years on the bench and in public service, Judge Williams told Caribbean Life that she has learned that “justice is most meaningful when people feel seen, heard, and treated with dignity.

“That belief has guided me through every phase of my career — from my early years as a principal court attorney, to my time on the Civil and Family Court benches, and now as an Acting Supreme Court Justice,” added Judge Williams, who was raised in Brooklyn – of Panamanian heritage – where she said her values were shaped, and where she said she has devoted her life to public service.

“My work has always been about ensuring that our courts remain places of fairness, compassion, and integrity,” she continued. “I have presided over cases that impact families, children, and entire communities — always with the understanding that behind every file and docket number is a human story that deserves care and respect.”
