"For three days, judges of the New York State Court of Appeals traded their seats in Albany for a bench in The Bronx, holding oral arguments March 10-12 at the Bronx Hall of Justice and, on a field trip of their own, hundreds of students in high school, college and law school sat in on the sessions and for Q&A discussions with the panel of judges."
"Many have called The Bronx the forgotten borough. But it is forgotten no more with the historic appearance here of the Court of Appeals, St. George said."
"On Friday, some 200 attendees filled the rotunda in Bronx Borough Hall, a room walled by massive painted murals depicting the borough's founding and early years. Bronx history and pride were on full display as speakers celebrated the borough's tenacity and spirit."
The New York State Court of Appeals conducted a significant outreach initiative in The Bronx, holding oral arguments from March 10-12 at the Bronx Hall of Justice. Hundreds of high school, college, and law school students attended the sessions and participated in Q&A discussions with the appellate judges. The week culminated in a luncheon at Bronx Borough Hall attended by approximately 200 people, including top appellate judges, Bronx court officials, and state politicians. Speakers celebrated The Bronx's historical significance, noting it as the only city borough on the North American mainland and highlighting its cultural tenacity. Remarks came from various officials including Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson, state senators, and court administrators, emphasizing the historic nature of the Court of Appeals' presence in the borough.
