Brooklyn Bar Association honors Justice Chambers and four others at annual dinner
Four retiring judges also recognized
The Brooklyn Bar Association Foundation held its annual dinner on Monday where it honored Justice Cheryl Chambers and four others during a ceremony at the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge.
The Foundation is the charitable arm of the Brooklyn Bar Association. The annual dinner is one of the biggest ways that it raises money to conduct charitable deeds. Each year the Foundation gives out scholarships to law school students, holds Know-Your-Rights events for the public, donates to charities, maintains its public law library, and runs a pipeline program among other philanthropic activities.
“Tonight’s dinner with more than 900 people celebrates the Brooklyn Bar Association Foundation, an organization that is dedicated not only to the legal community, but to the people of Brooklyn as well,” said president-elect Anthony Lamberti. “It’s your support of our Foundation that allows us to continue our work to support our members and Brooklynites.”
