Gail Prudenti: ‘This is courthouse heaven’
Generations of judges, clerks and other court staff gathered at the Appellate Division, Second Department on Monroe Place last Tuesday to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the elegant Brooklyn Heights courthouse.
“Thank you for taking the time to join us here today to honor and celebrate the dedicated men and women who made this brick and mortar structure the vibrant, living institution that it is today,” said Hon. Alan Scheinkman, presiding justice of the court.
“We hope that this event will not only serve to remind us of our storied history, but will also help preserve these special memories for those who will tread in our footsteps, just as we have tread in those of the leaders who came before us.”
