Justices Kaplan and Richardson-Mendelson honored during Women’s History Month
DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — Two of the State’s top judges — Hon. Deborah Kaplan and Hon. Edwina Richardson-Mendelson — were honored during a Women’s History Month event at the Kings County Supreme Court on Jay Street in Downtown Brooklyn on Monday, March 27.
Themed: Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories, the Second Judicial District Equal Justice Committee, which is chaired by Hon. Joanne Quinones, and its Women’s History Month Committee, co-chaired by Leah Richardson and Nicole B. Smith, not only honored the two judge’s, but they also highlighted 20 court employees including judges, court attorneys, and court officers.
With two keynote speakers and 20 women being highlighted, not everyone got a chance to speak at the events. However, Justices Kaplan and Richardson-Mendelson each got an opportunity to tell their own unique stories.
