Pro Bono Barrister: Bay Ridge Lawyers ‘run through snowflakes’ to A.C.
Keeping up with its long tradition, the Bay Ridge Lawyers Association braved storms and the threat of storms to journey to Atlantic City, earn CLE credits and stroll its icy boardwalks. Fortunately, attorney Bob Howe was on hand to snap the above photograph of members and guest lecturers. Seated, left to right, are Rosa Pannitto and Anna Tepedino. Standing, left to right, are the Hon. Lawrence Knipel, Judicial Chair Ray Ferrier, Hon Lai, President Joann Monaco and Justice Patricia DiMango, whose strong and effective court demeanor has earned her a television show titled “Hot Bench.” All agree she’ll look great on television.
You just can’t keep a good bar association from traveling to Atlantic City, even in the middle of two snowstorms and especially when CLE credits are on the line.
That’s why the Bay Ridge Lawyers Association members, led by President Joann Monaco, were able to hold their vaunted Atlantic City Seminar last week despite the raging snowstorms that wreaked havoc up and down the East Coast, imperiling the roads between New York City and Atlantic City.
