Judge Abdus-Salaam remembered as a “trailblazer” in legal community
Justice Sheila Abdus-Salaam died tragically on Wednesday and left behind a Brooklyn legal community that will remember her as a “trailblazer” and a great judge.
“This is a tragic loss,” said Michael Cibella, president of the Kings County Criminal Bar Association. “Judge Abdus-Salaam was a sharp, fair-minded jurist and consummate professional who was always mindful of the impact of the law upon the everyday person. She was an inspiration to so many and will be sadly missed.”
