Brooklyn attorney Angelicque Moreno became the first Hispanic woman to serve as president of the NYS Academy of Trial Lawyers when she was installed as its 15th president during a ceremony at the Issue Project Room in Downtown Brooklyn on Thursday.
“I’m proud to have been president this past year and I’m also very proud to hand the gavel tonight to our next president Angelicque Moreno,” said Francis Letro, the immediate past president of the academy.
Nearly 150 of the state’s top judges and lawyers crowded into the hall to witness as Moreno was sworn in by Hon. George Silver, Deputy Chief Administrative Judge for New York City.
