To put things into perspective, Judge Ingram states that "Brooklyn and Queens together are larger than Ireland." See Alyssa Misner, "Appointed to the Bench Alongside the Elected: A Conversation with Judge John G. Ingram," Brooklyn Daily Bulletin p. 10 (July 3, 2006).
Judge Ingram was apparently appointed to the New York Court of Claims (a specialized court which hears claims against the State of New York), but has been pressed into service -- along with 9 of his fellow jurists on the Court of Claims -- as a regular trial court judge in Brooklyn. The Brooklyn courthouse is presumably more convenient for him than the Manhattan-based courthouse of the Court of Claims, since he resides in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.
