Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Barry Kamins is going back to work next week as a civil court judge in Queens, while a judicial ethics panel investigates allegations that the jurist improperly served as a behind-the-scenes political advisor to embattled former District Attorney Charles “Joe” Hynes.
David Bookstaver, a spokesman for the Office of Court Administration, and Kamins’ attorney, Zuckerman Spaeder partner Paul Shechtman, confirmed Tuesday that Kamins will serve in the civil term of Queens Supreme Court. Both declined to elaborate.
