NEW YORK, Sept. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Carmen Beauchamp Ciparick, of counsel in Greenberg Traurig, LLP’s Appeals & Legal Issues Group has added inclusion on City & State’s “The 2023 Power of Diversity: Latino 100” list to her many achievements. The list recognizes “the most influential Latinos who are serving in public office, running businesses, leading nonprofits, and advocating for policy changes in New York,” according to the publication.

Of Puerto Rican descent, Ciparick was born in New York City, grew up in Washington Heights, graduated from Hunter College, and received her J.D. from St. John’s University School of Law. Her work, passion for New York, and ethnic background uniquely position her to impact access to justice.
Ciparick is Chair of the State Board of Law Examiners for the State of New York Court of Appeals and Past Chair of the Board of Trustees for the Historical Society of the Courts of the State of New York. Ciparick was appointed by the Chief Judge to co-chair the New York Justice Task Force that examines the causes of wrongful convictions.
