1. New York State Bar Association Annual Meeting
More than 5,000 members of the bar attend this event over its six-day run; this year's meeting took over the Marriott Marquis from January 23 to 28. Thirty-five programs and other events took place, including classes, committee meetings, dinners, and awards ceremonies. Notable politicians and legal leaders served as speakers. Kathleen Heider, director of meetings for the NYSBA, oversees the event.
2. UJA-Federation of New York's Judge Joseph M. Proskauer Awards
This December event, held at the Grand Hyatt, is hosted by the UJA-Federation's Lawyers Division and is attended by more than 700 members of the Jewish legal community. Last year Elena Ralph, Miss Israel 2005, was the guest speaker. UJA event manager Lainie Greenberg planned the awards dinner, and in something that's become a tradition, Foremost Caterers' kosher meal was donated to Jewish nonprofits that assist the needy.
