From a fraught meeting of Brooklyn Democrats on Thursday night that stretched over six hours and offered a forum for feisty progressive-leaning voters to rage against the party machine, three candidates for Civil Court have emerged to run unopposed in the November election.

The Civil Court nominees are Rupert Barry, a defense attorney who has worked as a federal and state prosecutor and who made unsuccessful run last year for Civil Court; Jill Epstein, a state Supreme Court law clerk who also made a failed run for the bench in 2016; and Anne Swern, a former longtime Brooklyn prosecutor who came in second last year in a six-way race for Brooklyn district attorney.
