An Organization for Jewish Lawyers,
Judges & Law Students
The Jewish Lawyers Association of Nassau County, commonly referred to as the JLA, was established in 1973 and continues to thrive as a vital component of the Nassau County legal community. The JLA was created by Jewish lawyers and judges and was born of a desire to gather members of the bench and bar around shared beliefs and promote the Jewish values of Torah tzedek u’mishpat (charity, justice, and learning). The JLA offers access to meaningful and exciting events, educational programs, and professional opportunities, all taking place in a cordial and welcoming atmosphere.
Annual Installation Dinner
The JLA hosts its Annual Installation Dinner, where new officers and board members are sworn in and the Neil T. Shayne Distinguished Service Award and the Paul J. Widlitz Award are presented to the evening’s honorees.
Neil T. Shayne Distinguished Service Award
The Neil T. Shayne Distinguished Service Award honors individuals who have shown leadership and commitment to the ideals and values set forth in both secular and Jewish law.
Paul J. Widlitz Award
The Paul J. Widlitz Award honors judges who have served the legal and Jewish communities with distinction.
Annual Chanukah Party
The JLA hosts its Annual Chanukah Party to celebrate the festival of lights where traditional latkes and sufganiyot are served.
JLA BBQ
The JLA BBQ is hosted every spring to welcome the summer and provide the bench and bar with an opportunity to enjoy good food and good times.
