Judge Cohen and St. Patrick
-
- March
- 17
The spirit of St. Patrick’s Day was in full force in the courtroom of Westchester County Judge Jeffrey A. 
Cohen today. Not only were most of the prosecutors and defense lawyers wearing green shirts or ties (one even had shamrocks on it), but the judge mentioned the Irish holiday as soon as he took the bench—40 minutes late thanks to a conference in chambers.
“I know it’s St. Patrick’s Day,” he said, peering over his glasses. “But I don’t want you to think I was in the back ‘celebrating.’”
Cohen also couldn’t resist commenting on the emerald-green file folders tucked under the arm of one defense lawyer, who smiled sheepishly as the judge singled him out between proceedings.
“And who says I’m not observant?” Cohen joked.
