The Jewish Lawyers Association (JLA) of Palm Beach County announced the installation of its 2025–2026 Board of Directors on Sept. 16 at the Palm Beach County Courthouse.
The ceremony, which was attended by not only JLA members, but also local judges, voluntary bar association leaders, and community officials, was led by Florida Supreme Court Justice John Couriel, who also made the keynote address. Florida Bar President Sia Baker-Barnes, Palm Beach County Mayor Maria Marino, and Palm Beach County School Board Chair Karen Brill also spoke.
Gary Lesser, Managing Partner of Lesser, Landy, Smith & Siegel, was sworn in as President for a second consecutive term.
“The Jewish Lawyers Association has quickly become a meaningful and respected part of the legal community here in Palm Beach County,” said Lesser. “We believe that by convening Jewish lawyers, judges and allies, we are truly stronger together.”
Founded in 2023, JLA connects Jewish legal professionals and allies through programming, networking and public service.
