Gerald P. Garson is a Brooklyn New York Supreme Court judge indicted on judicial misconduct charges. He was accused of giving a lawyer who appeared before his bench, Paul Simonovsky, ex parte advice, as well as other gratuities. Garson has also been accused of accepting improper referral fees from the same lawyer. The alleged scheme involved "fixing" divorce cases.

In order to avoid extensive criminal penalties, Garson agreed to cooperate with Kings County District Attorney Charles "Joe" Hynes, and to help the DA's office uncover extensive corruption within the Kings County Democratic Party with respect to how judgships within the borough are distributed.

This widespread bribery investigation eventually led to the conviction of Kings County Democratic Party head Clarence Norman Jr.
