Judge Arthur F. Engoron is a judge of the Supreme Court 1st Judicial District in New York.

Judge Engoron presided over a civil fraud trial in 2023 filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James against Donald Trump.

In September 2023, he ruled that Trump committed fraud by artificially inflating the value of real estate assets to obtain better rates on insurance and loans, leading to the revocation of some of Trump’s business licenses.

The trial will determine whether Trump faces significant financial penalties and a potential ban on serving as an officer or director of New York companies.

Judge Engoron has also been involved in cases related to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as granting a temporary restraining order against the New York State Liquor Authority in 2020, allowing an East Village cafe to reopen after it was shut down for alleged violations of COVID-19 restriction
