Irish-American lawyers and judges were among attendees at last week’s event, which honoured Hon Adam Silvera, the deputy chief administrative judge of the New York City courts.

Trade union attorney Deirdre Feerick was welcomed to the dinner as the Brehon Law Society’s new president, while past president Jennifer Frankola-Crawford chaired festivities.

Guests also enjoyed performances from Co Kerry musician Mary Courtney and the Morningstar Band, and Irish dancers from McManus School of Irish Dance in New York City.
