ONONDAGA COUNTY — Jim Corl Jr. has announced that he will be seeking the position of Onondaga County Family Court Judge in the upcoming election to be held Nov. 8, 2022.
Currently a court attorney for the Fifth Judicial District (Trial Part), Corl has over 20 years of experience in family law. He also served as court attorney for Onondaga County Family Court from 2015 to 2019.
Corl’s previous legal responsibilities included serving as second assistant county attorney for Madison County representing the presentment agency, or prosecution, in juvenile delinquency matters; serving as an attorney for children as appointed by family court judges; and in private practice as a solo practitioner upon establishing the Corl Law Office.
In addition to his extensive legal experience, Corl spent 11 consecutive years as an elected official, most recently as Onondaga County Legislator for the 3rd District after first serving the residents of Cicero as town councilor and then town supervisor.
If elected, Corl said he will draw upon the interactions he has had with thousands of individuals and families in his various public service roles in both the courtroom and the community to help guide decisions he would make that affect the lives of children, individuals, and residents of Central New York.
Corl has established three priorities: holding parents and children alike responsible for their actions, applying common-sense when making judicial decisions, and the continuation and expansion of virtual proceedings to ensure convenient court access to all citizens.
After graduating from the Cicero-North Syracuse School District, Corl earned his undergraduate degree from Le Moyne College in 1997, graduated from Syracuse University College of Law in 2000 and was admitted to the New York Bar in 2001. He resides in the town of Cicero with his wife and three children.
Corl has earned the support of the Republican, Conservative and Independence parties. He has also received the endorsement of the New York State Troopers Police Benevolent Association.
