Judge Sunshine shares new rules in Matrimonial Court at Bay Ridge Lawyers meeting
The Bay Ridge Lawyers Association hosted Hon. Jeffrey Sunshine, supervising judge for the Kings County Matrimonial Court, for a continuing legal education (CLE) seminar during its monthly meeting at the Pearl Room in Bay Ridge on Wednesday.
Sunshine is known as “Mr. November” in Bay Ridge because he routinely presents a CLE every November. He’s done it so many years that he cannot even recall how long he’s been presenting in Bay Ridge.
“To me, this is coming home,” said Sunshine, who regularly presents CLEs all over the state. “These are lawyers who are respectful of each other, who understand their ethical obligations to each other and the court. They understand that at the end of the day, they can get more accomplished by being civil with your adversary.”
