Gina Levy Abadi installed as Brooklyn’s newest judge after 17 years as a law clerk
Members of the Brooklyn legal community packed into a standing-room-only ceremonial courtroom at Borough Hall on Thursday night for the installation of the newly elected Civil Court Judge Gina Levy Abadi.
The event was hosted by Sue Ann Partnow, who serves as the District Leader in Brooklyn’s 59th Assembly District. After a series of speeches, there was a robing ceremony for the new judge, who then got a chance to thank everyone who helped her in her campaign.
“Brooklyn needs highly accommodating and dedicated jurists,” said Hon. Lawrence Knipel, administrative judge for the Brooklyn Supreme Court, Civil Term. “I have no doubt that Gina Levy Abadi will administer justice fairly, honestly and expeditiously and will prove to be a highly valued addition to the bench. Welcome Brooklyn’s newest judge, Gina Levy Abadi.”
