About Steven
Steven Skulnik earned his bachelor’s degree from Brandeis University in 1980 and his J.D. from Yeshiva University in 1983. He entered the bar in New York the following year. Those early years set the stage for a long career tied to the courts of New York and their federal counterparts.
He is admitted to practice in New York and was admitted to the bar in 1984. Over time he secured admission to several federal benches: the Southern, Eastern and Western Districts of New York, and to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Those admissions reflect an ability to handle matters that require authority to appear in both trial and appellate forums.
Skulnik’s work spans matters that reach state and federal tribunals. He has maintained a practice that involves filings and proceedings in district courts and handling appeals where appropriate. The record of admissions indicates familiarity with the procedural and appellate landscape that governs litigation in New York. He has practiced through periods of notable change in court rules and federal procedures, navigating those shifts as they affected case strategy and courtroom practice.
For listings and professional contact he is shown c/o Thomson Reuters. That entry point places him within the legal information networks that many lawyers and firms use for professional visibility. It does not, in itself, convey the size or internal structure of any particular firm affiliation. Public records tie him to the New York bar and to the federal courts noted above rather than to a specific private-firm biography.
Across more than four decades since his J.D., Skulnik has remained connected to the courts where he is admitted. He continues to accept matters that require appearances or filings in New York state and federal courts, including appellate work in the Second Circuit. As of 2026, he maintains a practice handling matters in New York state and federal courts and before the Second Circuit.
