Brooklyn Bar Association praises confirmation of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson
Ketanji Brown Jackson made history last week when she was officially confirmed by the U.S. Senate to the Supreme Court, and the significance of that confirmation has not been lost on the local legal community.
“The Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association congratulates Ketanji Brown Jackson on her confirmation to the United States Supreme Court,” said BWBA president Madeline Kirton. “Her confirmation not only symbolizes a historic day for women, but also marks a victory for all who value diversity, inclusion and excellence.”
The Brooklyn Bar Association put together a statement with the help of President Armena Gayle and Joy Thompson, chair of the BBA’s Diversity Committee.
