The program titled “Chat, Connect & Continue” was hosted by the commission’s Judicial Mentor Program at the Brooklyn Supreme Civil Courthouse on July 28.
The program was part of the commissioner’s Judicial Mentor Program, which pairs early-career attorneys and law students with judges and experienced practitioners to help strengthen the pipeline into the judiciary for young diverse lawyers.
“My mentor, who retired last year, helped me navigate every step of the journey,” FHW Judicial Mentor Program Chair and Second Department appellate court Justice Joanne D. Quiñones said.
One law student, Nago Wilkins, has been working as an intern for Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Ingrid Joseph.
Wilkins explained that he came to law school after getting involved in advocating for students with disabilities and was interested in working as a court clerk after law school.
