Law Secretaries Association honors five at Annual Gala
The Association of Law Secretaries to the Justices of the Supreme and Surrogate’s Courts honored five distinguished jurists, including three from Brooklyn, during its annual dinner at Battery Gardens in Manhattan on Monday.
Associate Justice Hon. Joseph J. Maltese, Appellate Division, Second Department; Hon. Nancy T. Sunshine, county clerk, Kings County; and Inga O’Neale, Esq., past president of the association and principal law clerk to Hon. Larry D. Martin, were among the honorees from Brooklyn. Hon. Peter Tom, associate justice and acting presiding justice, Appellate Division, First Department; and Kevin Morrissey, Esq., first vice president of the association, were honored as well.
“What makes each of our honorees so special is that they have all stood in the membership’s shoes and are uniquely aware of what goes on in our daily routines and our concerns working behind the scenes,” said Abigail Shvartsman, president of the Association of Law Secretaries. “It’s such an honor to recognize the achievements and exceptional contributions that these former law clerks have had on our system.”
