Judge Cyrulnik shares the difficulties of trying crimes against children cases
As part of the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association’s (BWBA) regular Lunch with a Judge series, its members sat down with Judge Miriam Cyrulnik in the Brooklyn Supreme Court on Thursday afternoon to discuss the seriousness and difficulty of trying cases in the Crimes Against Children Part.
“When you look at Judge Cyrulnik’s resume, you see someone who is extremely altruistic and gives back to her community, the community at large and especially the legal community,” said Michele Mirman, president of BWBA. “As the founding president of the Brandeis Society, the president of the Brooklyn Bar, the Brooklyn Women’s Bar, a president of the Volunteer Lawyers Project, a member of the Mayor’s Advisory Committee on the Judiciary. It goes on and on and on.”
The event is part of a regular series where member of BWBA get an opportunity to sit down for lunch with various judges throughout Brooklyn. Often the discussion involves how they became a judge, or the experiences the judges have on a regular basis.
