Assemblymember Vito Lopez remembered at Judge Fisher’s induction ceremony
Judge Pamela L. Fisher was officially sworn in as justice of the Supreme Court of Kings County during a ceremony in front of her judicial colleagues, friends and family members at Borough Hall Wednesday night.
It was a ceremony that was just as much about celebrating Judge Fisher’s ascension to the court as it was about remembering the late Assemblymember Vito Lopez, who passed away last November. The ceremony, which was hosted by Lopez’s long-time girlfriend Angela M. Battaglia, was dedicated in his honor.
“While this is an important and happy day because of [Judge Fisher’s] election to the Supreme Court, it is also a day tinged with sadness because of the passing of our dear friend assemblyman Vito Lopez,” said Hon. Mark Partnow.
