EOIR publishes a WebEx link and telephonic access code for each sitting judge. Use these only if you have a hearing scheduled before this judge.
The Honorable Immigration Judge Taylor A. Gillespie earned a Bachelor of Arts in environmental sustainability in 2016 from the University of Oklahoma and a Juris Doctor in 2020 from the University of Dayton School of Law. From 2021 to 2024 she served as an assistant district attorney at the Erie County District Attorney's Office in Buffalo, New York, and from 2024 to 2026 as an administrative law judge with the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance in Buffalo. She is a member of the New York State Bar. Judge Gillespie was appointed an immigration judge in May 2026, as part of the class of 77 immigration judges invested by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. This profile was compiled through independent primary-source research drawing on EOIR's class-of-77 biographical release and public records, because a standard individual biography was not published on EOIR's website, which is uncommon. (Assignment note: EOIR officially assigns her to the Boston Immigration Court, including on its current online court locator; the court shown here - Hartford - is where a smaller number of her hearings appear in the case records.)
