The Hon. Genine D. Edwards is a justice for the Kings County Supreme Court in the 2nd Judicial District of New York. Edwards was elected to the Supreme Court bench on November 3, 2015.

The 2nd Judicial District includes Kings County. Edwards has held an assignment in the Civil Term. In 2025, she was appointed to serve as administrative judge of the Civil Term of the Kings County Supreme Court by Chief Administrative Judge Joseph Zayas. Her other assignments have included the Medical Malpractice Part and as presiding justice of the Medical Malpractice Alternative Dispute Resolution Part in Kings County.

Prior to her election, Edwards was a judge for the Civil Court of the City of New York in Kings County, a position to which she was elected in 2005. While on the Civil Court, she was designated as an acting justice of the New York State Supreme Court in 2011.

She received a B.A. in international studies from Long Island University Post. Edwards then completed a J.D. at St. John’s University School of Law in 1992.

She was admitted to practice in New Jersey (1992) and New York (1993).

After graduating from law school, Edwards became an assistant corporation counsel with the City of New York Law Department. She eventually served as a staff attorney with the New York Power Authority and spent almost ten years as a senior staff attorney at Cohen, Kuhn & Associates. During that time, Edwards supplemented her practice as a volunteer arbitrator in the Small Claims Part of the Civil Court of the City of New York in Kings County.

She has served as a board member of the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association, the Association of Justices of the Supreme Court of the City of New York, St. John’s University School of Law’s Alumni Association, and the Alumni of Color Association. Her other memberships have included the Judicial Friends Association, the Columbian Lawyers of Brooklyn, the New York State Academy of Trial Lawyers, the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, the Tribune Society, and the Board of Judges of the New York City Civil Court (past president).

Edwards has served as a judicial liaison for the Ronald H. Brown Law School Prep Program and as a mentor for St. John’s University School of Law’s Alumnae Leadership Council and the Puerto Rican Bar Association.

Among her accolades, she received the Trailblazer Award from the Women’s Law Society at St. John’s University School of Law, the Sybil Hart Kooper Award from the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association, the Outstanding Service Award from the Kingsboro Temple Seventh Day Adventist Church, and the Humanity and Wisdom Award from the Ephesus Seventh Day Adventist Church.
