Judge Howard H. Sherman: Professional Background and Legal Expertise

Biography

The Hon. Howard H. Sherman (Ret.) is a former justice of the Bronx County Supreme Court in the 12th Judicial District of New York. He was elected to the bench in 2007. Sherman retired in 2021, after reaching the mandatory age of retirement.

The 12th Judicial District includes Bronx County. He held an assignment in the Civil Term of the Supreme Court.

Sherman began his judicial career as a judge for the Housing Court of the City of New York in Bronx County in 1987. Then, in 1999, he was designated supervising judge of the court, a position to which he was appointed by the Chief Administrative Judge.

While serving as supervising judge, Sherman was elected to the Civil Court of the City of New York in Bronx County in 2000. Shortly after his election, he was designated acting justice of the Bronx County Supreme Court by Chief Administrative Judge Jonathan Lippman. He served in that capacity for the next six years.

Sherman earned a B.A. from Lehman College in 1971. He then completed a J.D. at Delaware Law School in 1975.

After graduating from law school, Sherman joined Bronx Legal Services as an attorney in 1975. Six years later, he entered the public arena, accepting a position as an attorney in the New York City Department of Housing and Preservation.

Then, in 1983, he entered into private practice, spending the next four years as an attorney at Finkelstein, Borah, Schwartz, Alshuller & Goldstein.

Sherman is registered as a Democrat.
