Brooklyn Bar Association holds annual foundation dinner
The Brooklyn Bar Association Foundation hosted its annual dinner, where more than 800 members of the legal community came together at the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge in Downtown Brooklyn to honor two judges and a past president during a ceremony Monday night.
Justice Martin M. Solomon and Justice Deborah A. Dowling were both honored alongside attorney and past president of the Brooklyn Bar Association (BBA) Domenick Napoletano. Justice Carolyn E. DeMarest was also honored with a plaque in recognition of her retirement from the bench.
“When I look around this room, I feel a great sense of pride that our Brooklyn legal community can come together on this very special night to celebrate,” said BBA President-elect Aimee Richter. “We’re here tonight to celebrate Brooklyn, celebrate relationships, to celebrate the good works of the Brooklyn Bar Association Foundation and tonight’s honorees.”
Hon. Frank Seddio, president of the BBA, started off the evening by honoring Ken Thompson, the late district attorney who passed away in October, with a moment of silence.
