South Brooklyn lawyers rally behind Judge Graham’s Surrogate’s Court campaign
BAY RIDGE — Justice Bernard Graham, who was elected to sit in the Kings County Supreme Court, has been serving as the acting Surrogate’s Court Judge since Hon. Carol Edmead retired at the end of the last year. Now he’s running to keep his new job in the Surrogate’s Court and a group of Brooklyn attorneys are backing him.
The local attorneys gathered with Graham’s friends and family at the Wicked Monk on Thursday, March 9, to help the judge known for his community activism to get elected.
“Judge Graham is an excellent jurist who treats people with fairness, civility, compassion and humanity,” said Dominic Famulari. “These are all excellent qualities for a judge of the Surrogate’s Court to possess. All of the co-hosts of the event enthusiastically support Judge Graham’s candidacy for the Surrogate’s Court as it will have a positive impact on the people of Brooklyn. The Supreme Court’s loss will be the Surrogate’s Court’s gain.”
