The Kings County Criminal Bar Association held its monthly Continuing Legal Education meeting on Jan. 25, where some of the borough’s top judges gave their annual “State of the Criminal Courts” update.
President Darran Winslow welcomed Hon. Matthew D’Emic, Hon. Keshia Espinal and Hon. Craig Walker, who shared updates on challenges such as resource shortages affecting court officers and an increase in case filings. Despite these obstacles, efforts are being made to manage the caseload more effectively and expedite case processing.
“Everybody in this bar knows that these judges set the tone in Brooklyn and make it a fantastic place to practice law,” Winslow said. “They are really fine people on top of being fantastic judges.”
