SYRACUSE — The dean of the Syracuse University College of Law will serve as one of five co-chairs on the transition team for New York State Attorney General-elect Letitia (Tish) James.
Craig Boise was among those mentioned when James announced her transition team on Twitter on Nov. 16, Syracuse said in a news release.
“Honored to welcome these five individuals, some of the nation’s most well-respected lawyers, who have decades of experience at the top levels of government and academia. New Yorkers should be proud to have such leaders fighting to protect their most basic rights,” James tweeted.
Joining Boise as co-chairs of the transition team are former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch; former New York State Attorney General Robert Abrams; Jonathan Lippman, former chief judge of the New York State Court of Appeals; and Julissa Reynoso, a prior U.S. ambassador to Uruguay.
“I am thrilled to co-chair this remarkable leadership team to assist Attorney General-elect James as she builds an office that will undoubtedly continue and build upon the office’s legacy,” Boise contended in the news release.
James was elected on Nov. 6, making her the first African-American woman to hold the position. James, who has been serving as New York City Public Advocate, will be sworn in on Jan. 1, 2019.
