Bay Ridge Lawyers host Judge Ingram for maritime law discussion
The Bay Ridge Lawyers Association held its monthly Continuing Legal Education (CLE) meeting at which Hon. John G. Ingram discussed maritime law in a speech titled, “Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice on the High Seas” at Hunter’s Steakhouse in Bay Ridge on Wednesday.
It sounds like a topic that only a few lawyers would be interested in, but Judge Ingram spoke passionately and was able to convey the importance of maritime law. He kept it interesting with many anecdotes and practically gave a history lesson on Brooklyn’s waterfront and ports.
“We live so close to one of the busiest waterways in the country, and that is the Narrows,” Ingram said. “So this hits a lot closer to home than some of you may think.”
