Scales of justice in harmony: Kings County Supreme Court hits high notes on Law Day
Brooklyn’s courtrooms were alive with the sound of music and resounding speeches as the Kings County Supreme Court celebrated its annual Law Day on Wednesday at the iconic courthouse on 360 Adams St.
The event brought together the brightest legal minds in the State, including the freshly minted Chief Judge Rowan Wilson and a host of Brooklyn’s own juristic superstars.
Law Day, an annual celebration held on May 1, is a national event designed to honor the rule of law and its pivotal role in safeguarding our liberties and sustaining our democracy. The tradition dates back to 1958 when President Dwight Eisenhower established the day as a national dedication to the principles of governance under law. This year, Brooklyn celebrated in a grand style, honoring its Supreme Court justices and demonstrating the unity and strength of its legal community.
The star-studded roster of attendees included the new Chief Judge Rowan Wilson, the acting chief administrative judge of the Courts of New York, Hon. Tamiko Amaker, Deputy Chief Administrative Judge of the New York City Courts, Hon. Deborah Kaplan, and Deputy Chief Administrative Judge for Justice Initiatives, Hon. Edwina Richardson-Mendelson.
