Judge Carol A. Cocchiola: Professional Background and Legal Expertise

Biography

The Hon. Carol A. Cocchiola is a judge for the Broome County Court in the 6th Judicial District of New York. She was elected to the County Court bench in 2022.

The 6th Judicial District includes Broome, Chemung, Chenango, Cortland, Delaware, Madison, Otsego, Schuyler, Tioga, and Tompkins counties.

Cocchiola began her judicial career as a judge for the Binghamton City Court, a position to which former Mayor Richard David appointed her in 2014. She was elected to the seat the following year. Then, in April 2023, Cocchiola was appointed supervising judge of the Town and Village Courts in the 6th Judicial District by Chief Administrative Judge Tamiko Amaker.

She received a B.S. from Duquesne University in 1980. Cocchiola went on to complete a J.D. at Syracuse University College of Law in 1985. She was admitted to practice in New York (1986) and Pennsylvania (1994).

Shortly after graduating from law school, Cocchiola became a criminal prosecutor at the Office of the Broome County District Attorney, a position to which she was named in 1987. During her tenure there, she was promoted to serve as senior assistant district attorney in 1990, where she remained for the next eight years.

Cocchiola left the office in 1998, at which time she became an assistant attorney general with the New York State Attorney General’s Office. Then, in 2012, she was named deputy assistant attorney general in charge of the Binghamton office, a position she maintained until her appointment to the bench.

She is a past director and member of the Broome County Bar Association and a past president of the board of directors of the Action for Older Persons. Cocchiola also served on the board of directors of the Southern Tier Law Enforcement Memorial Association and is past chair of the board of directors of the Broome County Family Violence Prevention Council.

She is registered as a Republican.
