Peter F. Martin

Peter F. Martin is the Director of Judicial Accountability at the Center for Community Alternatives, a non-profit organization focused on judicial reform and accountability.3 In this role, he leads efforts to evaluate judges' records and advocate for greater scrutiny in the judicial appointment process.1

Martin has a background in law and advocacy. He previously worked as a Legal Fellow at the Lawyers Alliance for New York and as a Lawyer for the Voting Rights Defender Project at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.4 This experience likely informs his current work on judicial accountability and reform.

At the Center for Community Alternatives, Martin has been vocal about the need for more rigorous evaluation of judges before reappointment. He has argued that judges should have to "earn new terms" rather than being automatically reappointed.1 Martin has specifically criticized judges he views as unfit, such as Justice Vincent Del Giudice, calling for their replacement rather than reappointment.1

Martin describes himself as "an organizer and a lawyer, working and organizing around judges, elections, nonprofit organizations, and grassroots power building".5 This suggests he takes a multifaceted approach to judicial reform, combining legal expertise with community organizing tactics.

In his professional capacity, Martin serves as a media contact for the Center for Community Alternatives on issues related to judicial accountability.2 He appears to be actively involved in public advocacy and media engagement to promote the organization's judicial reform agenda.
