Brooklyn Appellate Division Justice Cheryl Chambers presided over the New York State Bar Association’s annual Judicial Section Award Ceremony and Luncheon on Friday, Jan. 19, during the state bar’s annual meeting in New York City.
Justice Chambers, who sits in the Appellate Division, Second Department, and is the presiding member of NYSBA’s Judicial Section, led the luncheon where Preet Bharara, former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and Matthew Diller took part in a half-hour discussion titled “Threats to the Rule of Law and What We Can Do to Counter Them.”
“We are honored to have had as guests two great legal minds to discuss one of the most important issues facing our nation: the preservation of the rule of law,” Justice Chambers said.
