Legal community gathers to say goodbye to Judge Marrus at retirement party
Judges, attorneys and many members of the Brooklyn court system were at Battery Gardens in Manhattan on Tuesday night to celebrate the 33-year career of Justice Alan Marrus.
“Integrity, honor, appreciation for other people and their time, kindness, intelligence — these are things we look for in people, especially judges, and that’s my dad,” said Justin Marrus, an assistant district attorney and son of Justice Marrus.
“That’s why tonight we have people from every segment of the criminal justice system — we have court reporters, court officers, we have judges from different boroughs, we have assistant district attorneys, attorneys from the private sector, from the legal aid society, we even have someone he convicted, all here to honor Alan Marrus.”
