Pro-Bono Barrister: Vital Public ‘L &T’ Forum Set For Brooklyn Bar, March 26
By Charles F. Otey
When she was president of the Brooklyn Bar Association a few years back, Diana Szochet initiated a series of public forums that proved popular and effective. Barristers appreciated the opportunity to describe principles of applicable law, and concerned members of the public were invited to attend and enjoy the benefit of their candid, professional insights.
The BBA Public Forum is continuing under President Ethan Gerber, and that’s why another, vital public forum, under the aegis of Foundation Chair Fern Finkel, is scheduled for March 26, 6 to 8 p.m., at BBA Headquarters, 123 Remsen St.
The timely topic title is “Landlord-Tenant Law In New York City.” The published agenda indicates that “All members of the public are invited to attend [the] … informational lecture on building violations and rights of rent-stabilized tenants.”
