Brooklyn Bar Association remembers Judge Arthur Schack
The Brooklyn Bar Association’s annual Theodore T. Jones Jr. Memorial Golf Outing has been a fun affair over the past few years; association members have the chance to remember the late Judge Jones and to play a round of golf on his favorite course at the Colonia Country Club in New Jersey. However, this year’s affair became somber, as golfers found out about the passing of Judge Arthur Schack, who died Monday.
“Many people know him as a judge, but most of us know him as just Artie, because he was that guy,” said Brooklyn Bar Association (BBA) President Arthur Aidala. “He loved and cherished his family and friends. Sometimes he was a little controversial when he was on the bench and in life, but those of us who knew him really admired him and loved him. He will be missed and have a legacy that will live on.”
Rather than discuss how bad their putting was that day, many BBA members spent the latter part of the event sharing stories about Judge Schack. A moment of silence was also held in his memory.

While Brooklyn has become the epitome of ‘cool and hip’ in recent years, for those that were born here, raised families here and improved communities over the years, Brooklyn has never been ‘uncool’.
