The Queens County
Women’s Bar Association
(QCWBA) celebrated
Hon. Jeremy S. Weinstein,
the now-retired
administrative judge of
Civil Matters for the 11th
Judicial District, during
their Judiciary Night at
Queens Borough Hall on
Tuesday.
Hon. Weinstein was
recognized for his nearly
40 years of service and
for his pragmatic way
of impacting the lives
and careers of his fellow
lawmakers. Several
colleagues gave short
speeches about Weinstein,
and talked about
the “big shoes” he’s left
to fill as well as his warm
humor.
“Weinstein always
had our backs,” said
Hon. Bernice D. Siegal,
the QCWBA’s event
co-chair. “If there was
ever an issue that we
had or something that
came up that we had to
handle or we needed to
talk about, he was there
for us.”
The Helen Marshall
Cultural Center was
packed with judges from
across Queens County
and New York state, including
District Attorney
elect and current
Borough President Melinda
Katz. The QCWBA
also awarded two law
students, Joanna Lopez
and Paulina Leyva Hernandez,
with the Faith
O’Neal Scholarship.
“I think this is a wonderful
event,” said Marie-
Elena First, president of
the Queens County Bar
Association. “Thank you
to the Queens County
Women’s Bar Association
for organizing this
and bringing us all
together.”
