Bay Ridge Lawyers, inspired by past president Lisa Becker, ‘Light Up the Night’
Chuck Otey's Pro Bono Barrister
Annual Event Set for Oct. 13 Aids Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
“Pro Bono Barrister,” now in its 18th year, is a column wherein we focus on “the good that lawyers do.” No other profession is more vital to maintaining our rule of law and, at the same time, no other profession has received so much more than its share of bad press over the years.
In keeping with our mission, we focus now on a true neighborhood bar association — the Bay Ridge Lawyers Association (BRLA). Even those of us who are familiar with the court systems in our other four New York counties would be hard put to name — or even find — such a respected and longstanding band of barristers. The BRLA is well along into its seventh decade of service.
