On Thursday, the Columbian Lawyers Association of Brooklyn hosted its 52nd annual Judges Night at Gargiulo’s Restaurant in Coney Island where it highlighted the good work the local judges do for the community and celebrated the collegiality between the bench and the bar.

There are no speeches or awards given out during the event. Instead, it’s an opportunity for members of the Columbian Lawyers to meet and get to know the judges. At the end, each judge is announced to the crowd with a separate announcement to highlight the judges of Italian descent.
