Another Successful Tales From the Bench Luncheon

NJWLA’s Judicial Outreach Committee held its eighth Tales From the Bench luncheon on October 25th with the Honorable Patricia Costello.  The luncheon was generously hosted by Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi with approximately 25 guests enjoying the opportunity to have an open, candid and entertaining conversation with the retired Essex County Assignment Judge and prior NJWLA WILL Platinum Award recipient.  NJWLA expresses its gratitude to Judge Costello for her time and continued support of NJWLA and its mission.  

A special thanks to CSG for its generous hospitality!
