Judicial Friends Association honors four retiring justices during holiday party
The Judicial Friends Association hosted its annual holiday party where it honored four retiring justices, including Hon. Fern A. Fisher, at Brooklyn Law School on Wednesday, Nov. 15.
The annual event was hosted by both the Judicial Friends Association and the Judicial Friends Foundation. The association was established in 1976 by African-American judges and monitors administrative and policy issues within the court system, holds programs and mentors new attorneys and judges.
“Over the years, we have been lucky to have trailblazers in this organization — people who have been able to ensure that this organization and other judges of color were able to make it on the bench,” said Hon. Sylvia Hinds-Radix. “These are people who constantly reached back.”
