Inga O’Neale named Court Employee of the Year during ceremony
Inga O’Neale, a principal law clerk at the Kings County Supreme Court, was named the Court Employee of the Year during a ceremony at 360 Adams St. last month.
O’Neale, who got her law degree from Hofstra University, began working within the court system as an intern during her first year of law school. She officially marked her 15th anniversary within the court system on July 5 of this year.
“Inga is an excellent writer, having served in the Law Department and the Appellate Division,” said Justice Larry D. Martin, whom O’Neale clerked for since 2010. “She has a trait which all good principal law clerks possess. That being able to prevent a judge from making a reversible error. In Inga’s case, she is able to reign me in by way of non-verbal communication. She may widen her eyes or inhale deeply before offering a contrary opinion on an issue.”
