Former Justice Spolzino to offer successful Appellate strategies at Brooklyn Bar Association
The Court of Appeals and the Appellate Divisions are the highest courts in New York State, but many lawyers don’t often set foot in those courthouses because practicing there is a unique experience and one that can be intimidating.
Former Appellate Justice Robert Spolzino is hoping to take away some of the stigma of those courts by hosting a continuing legal education seminar at the Brooklyn Bar Association titled, “Successful Appellate Strategies: Justice Spolzino reveals the secrets.”
Justice Spolzino, a Georgetown University and St. John’s Law School graduate, is a partner at Abrams Fensterman following an eight-year career as a justice in the New York Supreme Court, including five years as a justice of the Appellate Division. In 2016, he was selected by the NYS Commission on Judicial Nomination as one of seven candidates to join the Court of Appeals.
