Romana Lavalas is a high-flying attorney out of Syracuse New York.  After spending a decade in the District Attorney’s office in Onondaga County, Lavalas made a run for judge last year.  Although she wasn’t able to get the votes necessary to defeat the incumbent, she ran a strong campaign and presented herself as part of the future of judicial leadership in the state of New York.
