September 29, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm EDT
Webinar
In a fun and informative program, HSoftheNYCourts partnered with Woodlawn Cemetery & Conservancy to look back to NY’s legal ancestors. Did you know that many of the giants of NY law, including William Nelson Cromwell, Samuel Untermyer, and even Charles Evans Hughes, have their final resting places in Woodlawn Cemetery? A panel of descendants shared little known stories about these important lawyers and judges and discussed their impact on the law today.
