It's a very well-written and interesting article. After reading it once, I could not find any prose issues, and it is perfectly understandable for someone not trained in law (me). I've noticed that law is one of the areas that Wikipedia does not cover very much at all, so it's good to have articles such as this one.

I have copied the following text from Steven Donziger's page:
Preska was chosen by U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan to preside over Steven Donziger's trial for criminal contempt. This was unusual as judge's are usually selected randomly. In August 2019, Preska sentenced Donziger to home detention while awaiting trial and ordered the seizure of his passport. He was required to wear a GPS-equipped ankle bracelet. Preska ordered Donziger to post a bail bond of $800,000, which is a record for a misdemeanour case in the US. In May 2020, Preska ruled that Donziger's case would not be heard by a jury, which Donziger had requested. In August 2020, after two other attorney's were unable to appear in the trial, Preska ordered Andrew Frisch, Donziger's former lead defence attorney, to represent him. Martin Garbus, who also represents Donziger but was unable to attend the trial, said a trial with Frisch would not be "a constitutionally protected case" and that "Donziger is being forced to go to trial with a lawyer who doesn't want to be in the case, who doesn't get along with Donziger, and claims that before Donziger goes ahead with the trial he should pay him additional moneys". Donziger's contempt charge and house arrest have been harshly condemned by legal advocates. Lawyer's Rights Watch Canada points out that Donziger has been under house arrest for longer than the six month maximum sentence that contempt of court carries.

I recently copied some text over from the Steven Donziger page as mentioned above. This text related to action taken by Preska in the Donziger/Chevron case. The edits were immediately rewritten and replaced with information about the case that had nothing to do with Preska. The new text documents Donziger's, Chevron's and Kaplan's actions but completely omits any actions taken by Preska. I have removed the parts of the new text that do not relate to the subject of this bio but that doesnt leave much. Here are the points related to Preska, including assessments of her decisions, that should be included in her bio:

I recently added some information related to Preska’s involvement in the Jeremy Hammond case. Hammond released documents related to Preska’s husband which gave rise to a perception of a conflict of interest. Preska was asked to recuse herself from the trial but refused. I used an article by renowned journalist Chris Hedges as the source. For some reason this was considered insufficient. The story has also appeared in the Village Voice [1] and InfoSecurity Magazine [2] and presumably elsewhere. Some mention of this episode is reasonable.

Preska seems to have issued some controversial rulings regarding the separation of church and state in New York schools which gathered a fair bit of reporting at the time for going against higher-court precedent. From what I can find the articles are mostly OP-eds though, so just curious whether other thinks it should be included. Swaggernagger ( talk) 01:35, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
