On April 22, 2016, the Palm Beach County Chapter hosted a celebration of the 30th anniversary of Judge Kenneth Ryskamp\u2019s appointment to the Southern District of Florida bench.

The Chapter Officers adopted an eagles\u2019 nest in Haines, Alaska for Judge Ryskamp, because he is particularly fond of eagles. Judge Ryskamp then spoke to the group about some of his more interesting and notorious trial experiences. <\/p>\n
