Brooklyn Federal Court celebrates retrospective publication
Brooklyn’s federal courthouse held a reception to celebrate the publication of the New York County Lawyers Association’s (NYCLA) retrospective of the Eastern District as part of its continuing 150th anniversary celebration on Tuesday.
“Our celebration of the 150th anniversary is all about memorializing and remembering our past so that future generations will know about the important work that we’ve done here,” said Chief Judge of the Eastern District Carol Bagley Amon. “This document that I’m presented with today is such an important part of that effort.
“It has history, it discusses trends, it summarizes the important cases, celebrates our senior judges, discusses the important status of the magistrate judges and their contributions to our court. I had no idea how hard our colleagues worked until I read this book,” Bagley Amon added.
