Biography

The Hon. Saliann Scarpulla is a justice for the New York County Supreme Court (Civil Term) in the First Judicial District of New York. She was elected to the bench in 2012.

Scarpulla earned a B.A. from Boston University in 1982. She then completed a J.D. at Brooklyn School of Law in 1986.

Shortly after graduating from law school, Scarpulla became a principal court attorney for the Hon. Alvin F. Klein of the New York County Supreme Court.

Two years later, she entered the private sector. She joined Proskauer, Rose, Goetz & Mendelsohn as a litigation associate, spending the next five years acquiring experience in accountants liability, securities regulation, real estate, contracts, and commercial torts matters.

Then, in 1993, Scarpulla became a senior litigator for the New York Legal Services Office of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. During her four-year tenure there, she represented the FDIC as a receiver for numerous failed banks. She also litigated cases involving banking and commercial issues. Scarpulla left the FDIC in 1997, accepting a position as senior vice president and bank counsel of Hudson United Bank. While at Hudson United Bank, she was responsible for all of its litigation matters, and she was tasked with overseeing its compliance with state and federal banking regulations.

Scarpulla returned to the New York County Supreme Court in 1999. She became a principal court attorney for the Hon. Eileen Bransten, a position she held until her election to the Civil Court of the City of New York in New York County in 2002. Scarpulla spent the next seven years presiding over civil, commercial landlord-tenant, and no-fault insurance actions.

She was then appointed to the New York County Supreme Court by Chief Administrative Judge Ann T. Pfau in 2009. Scarpulla was initially assigned to the City Part, where she handled all civil litigation involving the City of New York. Then, in 2012, she was elected to the bench, after which time she was assigned to an IAS part with an emphasis on complex asbestos litigation. She has also been assigned to the court’s Commercial Division, eventually becoming responsible for its international arbitration matters in 2019.

Her memberships have included the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, the New York State Bar Association, the New York Women’s Bar Association, the Columbian Lawyers Association, the Jewish Lawyers Guild, the Catholic Lawyers Guild, the National Association of Women Judges, the New Jersey Bar Association, and the New Jersey Bankers Association.

She is registered as a Democrat.
