NYC Civil Court Judge Wendy Li has been active and influential during the past 6 years, has issued thousands of and published more than 70 judicial decisions in civil and criminal cases in Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan. Six of these decisions became case law or "common law." A firm believer in the principles of fairness, compassion, and equal treatment for all under the law, she is passionate about serving our community as our next Surrogate’s Court Judge in the County of Queens.
A graduate of Oxford, Peking and Southern Methodist Universities, Judge Li won election to the court in 2018 after 25 distinguished hard years in private law practice with grueling hours. She has also long been active in professional and civic affairs, and continues to be so as a judge. She voluntarily mentors both students and young professionals. Many professional and civic organizations have invited her to speak. Judge Li has also earned seats on the executive boards of many prestigious civic and professional organizations, such as the New York Chapter of National Association of Women Judges and New York City Civil Court Judges Association. Judge Li also served as a Board Director/Secretary of the Asian American Judges Association of New York from 2020 to 2023.
Judge Li grew up in China in a family of modest means. Her parents sacrificed so that the dream of their children building a better life could be realized. It was because of their hard work and commitment to family that she was able to gain entrance to the impossibly competitive Peking University, where she obtained her first law degree. Wendy immigrated to the United States for law school. Her goal as a young adult was to better the lives of everyone when they come before the judicial system. After receiving her second law degree, in the United States, Wendy passed the Bar exam in 11 months, and continued on to attend Oxford University, where she obtained her Masters of Science in Law and Finance degree, and then Harvard University where she received a graduate certificate in International Relations.
Judge Li has also taught at renowned universities, including St. Catherine’s College at Oxford University.
Judge Li has seen first-hand how our courts can make a difference in people’s lives and understands the struggles and hopes of all New Yorkers and especially the rising immigrants of New York City. An immigrant herself, she has been building a successful life in the United States for the past decades. She eagerly looks forward to continuing to serve the People of NYC who have given her so much. The heart and soul of her campaign is built on the belief that a diversified bench is essential to people receiving impartial treatment, principled judgment, and sound justice. The values of fairness, compassion, and equal treatment for all have guided Judge Li’s entire life, and they are the values she will proudly bring to the bench as our next Queens County Surrogate’s Court Judge.
Let's make history together to elect Judge Wendy Li, not because she will be 1) the first woman, 2) the first minority, or even 3) the first Asian Surrogate’s Court Judge of Queens County, but because she is BEYOND QUALIFIED.
