Latino Court Officers Society holds inaugural induction ceremony
The Latino Court Officers Society (LCOS) of the New York State Unified Court System held and induction ceremony for its inaugural officers at the State Supreme Court in Manhattan last Thursday.
“I’m the founder of the first Hispanic woman-owned law firm Pacheco and Lugo,” said Betty Lugo, during the event’s opening remarks. “I know that when I started practicing law and I saw a Latino court officer I felt more comfortable. I’m looking forward to the organization, the unity and the development of more diversity within the entire court system.”
The society was officially started in September of last year by Jessica Hernandez, Erica Prosper, Rafael Nieves and Anthony Vazquez and in just six months it has already signed up more than 100 members.
