Program III in the HSoftheNYCourts Series NYS Law Schools Present: Illustrious Alumni
St. John’s University School of Law — Belson Moot Court Room, 2nd Floor
The HSoftheNYCourts proudly partnered with St. John’s University School of Law to present the third program in our series NYS Law Schools Present: Illustrious Alumni. This follows programs in Albany and Buffalo. For this presentation, Dean Michael A. Simons and Prof. John Q. Barrett traced the deep connection between St. John’s Law and the New York Courts, with a special focus on the five St. John’s alumni who have served on the Court of Appeals. We heard remarks from NYS Chief Judge Janet DiFiore, Hon. Carmen Beauchamp Ciparick, Hon. Mary Kay Vyskocil, and Hon. Randall T. Eng, who looked back on their time in law school and their careers. Representatives of the St. John’s Law School Student Chapter, under the mentorship of Professor Barrett, were also in attendance.
