Brooklyn Bar Association Foundation Law Committee hosts public lecture: Know Your Rights in a Co-Op
The Brooklyn Bar Association’s Foundation Law Committee is hosting a lecture, which is open to the public, titled “Co-op Living: Know Your Rights as a Shareholder and as a Renter” on Monday, Jan. 29 at 6 p.m. at the bar association building in Brooklyn Heights.
The BBA’s Foundation Law Committee is the arm of the association that handles its public outreach and charities. It hosts regular “Know Your Rights” lectures that are free and open to the public as a way of reaching out and educating the community on legal areas that can be confusing to the general public.
This month’s event will feature Fern J. Finkel, chair of the Foundation Law Committee and program organizer, as well as Jaime Lathrop, as its two main presenters. The duo will cover topics related to the subject including any issues involving cooperative apartments and the rights of shareholders and renters under the Martin Act and NYS Constitution.

While Brooklyn has become the epitome of ‘cool and hip’ in recent years, for those that were born here, raised families here and improved communities over the years, Brooklyn has never been ‘uncool’.
