Members of the Brooklyn Bar Association
packed Downtown’s New
York Marriott at the Brooklyn
Bridge on Dec. 10 for the group’s
annual Foundation Dinner, which
salutes local judges and their civic
contributions to Kings County, according
to the association’s president.
“Honorees were chosen because
they refl ect different parts of
the Brooklyn legal community and
these people have done incredible
work,” said David Chidekel.
Jurists including Justice Sylvia
Ash, Justice Matthew D’Emic,
Justice Genine Edwards, Justice
Bernard Graham, Justice Joanne
Quinones, and Justices Jeffrey
and Nancy Sunshine celebrated
their colleagues along with such
local luminaries as Brooklyn
Bar Association President-elect
Frank Carone, Msgr. David Cassato,
the pastor of Bensonhurst’s
Saint Athanasius Church, District
Attorney Eric Gonzalez, civil
rights attorney Sanford Rubenstein,
Democratic Party Boss
Frank Seddio, and other movers
and shakers over drinks and dinner
at the festivities.
Justice Quinones received
one of seven Trailblazer Awards
handed out by the more than century
old organization at the event,
according to Chidekel, who said
the judge’s commitment to giving
back to members of her community
should be an example for all.
Other recipients of the Trailblazer
Award included District
Attorney Gonzalez, Justice Larry
Martin, Justice William Miller,
Justice Marsha Steinhardt, former
Brooklyn Bar Association
president Aimee Richter, and
Brooklyn Supreme Court Chief
Clerk Charles Small.
