It's been a half century since Eastern District Judge Jack Weinstein was appointed to the federal bench, but his judgeship hasn't been completely traditional.
Weinstein, who ditched the black robes and the high bench for a business suit and a conference table since the start, is gearing up for his 50th anniversary, which the Eastern District will celebrate July 13 with a reception starting at 4 p.m. at the Brooklyn federal courthouse.
The judge, known for his handwritten notes and heartfelt holiday wishes, said, “Judging is an art, not a science. I have to see the real people, the real scenes and feel the problem in my bones.”
