Chief Judge Carol Bagley Amon forever enshrined in Brooklyn Federal Court
Carol Bagley Amon, immediate past chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, was honored on Friday with a ceremonial portrait hanging in the ceremonial courtroom in Downtown Brooklyn.
The ceremony is a tradition in the court that takes place after a judge reaches senior status. Bagley Amon’s portrait, which was painted by artist David Michalek, now hangs on the top row next to the other chief judges in the ceremonial courtroom, which is used during citizenship oaths and other special events.
