Brooklyn Bar Association panel addresses how to become a judge
Chief administrative judge wants to cut back on active justices
Judges and interested attorneys gathered in the Brooklyn Bar Association’s auditorium on Tuesday evening for a three-hour program on how to become a member of the Brooklyn judiciary.
“Being a judge is very interesting,” noted the evening’s moderator, former Surrogate’s Court Judge Frank Seddio. “Judges are counted on to bring justice to the public.” According to Housing Court Judge Gary Marton, “Nothing is more important than solving disputes in a fair way … otherwise there will be anarchy.”
The evening began with a discussion by Andrew Fallek on the judicial screening process. Fallek, chair of the Brooklyn Bar Association’s Judiciary Committee, discussed the screening process as a whole, its misconceptions, and a few pitfalls.
