The Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association (BWBA) recently held its annual Judiciary Night, fostering a sense of community and collegiality among local legal professionals. The event, hosted at the Appellate Division, Second Judicial Department in Brooklyn Heights this January, provided a platform for members of the BWBA to interact with the borough’s judiciary.
Designed to strengthen the relationship between the bench and the bar, Judiciary Night saw the participation of a wide array of judges from the borough, who were welcomed by both administrative and supervising judges. These judicial leaders took the opportunity to introduce newly appointed judges, offering a glimpse into the evolving landscape of the Brooklyn judiciary.
The gathering allowed BWBA members to meet and engage with local judges, gaining insights into the judicial processes and developments within their courts.
