Featuring: Justice Patricia M. DiMango
Justice Patricia M. DiMango serves as one of three judges
on CBS Television Distribution's new syndicated court show
HOT BENCH, created by Judge Judy Sheindlin. Mayor Rudolph
Giuliani first appointed Justice DiMango to serve as a Judge in
the criminal courts for the City of New York. She became the
first Italian-American woman both in that
position as well as to be elected to the New
York State Supreme Court in the 2nd and
11th Judicial Districts. Most recently, Justice
DiMango held the positions of First Deputy
Administrative Judge for Criminal Matters,
Second Judicial District and Supervising
Justice of the Bronx Felony Project.
These assignments ultimately led to
Justice DiMango being appointed as the
Administrative Judge of the Supreme Court
Criminal Term in Brooklyn, New York. She
has gained public recognition for handling
high-profile trials, particularly those involving murders of young children, other crimes
against children and hate crime murders.
Justice DiMango has a stern but fair reputation combined, with a
balance of street smarts and legal knowledge. These traits assist
her in resolving a large volume of serious felony cases from their
arraignment through trial. Known for her eﬃciency in closing
cases, she was assigned to address the backlog of felony cases in
the Bronx Supreme Court from January 2013-January 2014.
Justice DiMango received her law degree from St. John's
University where she graduated in the top 10 percent of her
class and received awards and scholarships in recognition for
her other academic achievements. In addition to her Juris
Doctorate, Justice DiMango holds a Master's Degree from
Columbia University in Developmental Psychology and a
Bachelor's Degree cum laude from Brooklyn College in both

of the prestigious Rapallo Award. In 2013, she was the recipient
of the Distinguished Judiciary Award from the Catholic Lawyers
Guild and was named "Woman of the Year" by the New York
State Supreme Court Oﬃcers Association.
While pursuing her Master's Degree, Justice
DiMango was a school teacher for the New
York City Public Schools in focusing on
special education of children with emotional
and intellectual deficiencies.
Justice DiMango is the chairperson
on the Board of Directors of the Law and
Paralegal Studies Department at New York
City Technical College, the chairperson on
the Assigned Counsel Advisory Committee
for the 2nd, 11th and 13th Judicial Districts

In addition to HOT BENCH, Justice
DiMango has appeared on "Entertainment Tonight," "Wendy
Williams," "Steve Harvey," "Rachael Ray" and "The Insider,"
among other television programs. Most recently, the judge was
master of ceremonies for the NY State Broadcasters Association
Awards Gala.

a long standing member of its family. She has been part of the
Greater New York Dental Meeting all her life as her father, Dr.
Anthony L. DiMango, is an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon in
Brooklyn, NY and is a past General Chairman of the Greater New
York Dental Meeting. In addition, her mother Mafalda, was a long
