There’s an apostrophe in brothers of brother’s-in-law only when you are showing ownership, where something belongs to your brother-in-law.
In this case since it is the plural of brother-in-law, brothers in-law, would NOT have an apostrophe.
This is why education is important.

Professor Jersey-
I’m not sure this an appropriate place for a grammar lesson. A chashuve yid was niftar and his family is probably reading this article, followed by your nagging comment.
Try to use some sechel before posting.
Dear Mr. Jersey Jew, There is a time and place for everything.
Jersey Jew. You have failed to show why education is important. If you had received a poor education, you would never have known that YWN had mistakenly used an apostrophe, and would have probably been happier for it. יוסיף דעת יוסיף מכאוב.
