Judges from National Bar Association head to Brownsville Community Justice Center
Judges from the National Bar Association Judicial Council were in New York City last week for the organization’s 94th annual convention, and as part of that a group went to Brownsville to check out the Community Justice Center on Tuesday.
There were more than 20 judges in attendance at the event including judges from Brooklyn and other parts of New York City, and from other states like Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Georgia and Michigan.
They went to the Brownsville Community Justice Center to meet with staff and learn about how the center, through various initiatives, attempts to invest in local kids by improving their self-sufficiency, but also by improving Brownsville and the surrounding communities.
