Columbian Lawyers Association hosts city’s top judge for first Gargiulo’s CLE
For over three decades the Columbian Lawyers Association of Brooklyn called the Rex Manor home for its monthly meetings. On Wednesday, the group hopes to start a new tradition at Gargiulo’s Restaurant in Coney Island.
The Columbian Lawyers will host its monthly continuing legal education meeting at Gargiulo’s with Hon. George Silver, deputy chief administrative judge for the New York City courts, as its first guest speaker.
Justice Silver will give a one-hour lecture on mediations, a topic the judge sees as important because the court system has moved toward pilot programs designed to help cases avoid trials in favor of mediations instead.
