4 Top Appellate Division Justices to Meet in Secret

Appellate Division Justices to Hold Joint Seminar 
The New York Law Journal by Andrew Keshner  -  April 23, 2012

Justices of the Appellate Division, First and Second departments, are set to meet on April 25 for a program that will include presentations on a range of topics, from ethics to e-discovery to disclosure of information from social networking sites. Speakers include justices, court personnel, law school professors and legal experts provided through the New York State Bar Association. The appellate division said it hopes to hold similar meetings annually. The event, which will be held at the appeals court in Brooklyn, is not open to the public.

  1. What's the use of these 'top' judges meeting when one of these days the governor is going to finally get around to appointing permanent PJs?!?

  2. So why is there an Office of Court Administration?


    Why not just set-up a Clown Court and see how that goes?

  3. i would think that a gathering of minds on topics such as the ones outlined would be something that the public, of whom would be most impacted by the outcomes if any, would be very interested in these proceedings...

    more so... i would've thought that the opportunity to submit questions on relevant issues before the panel would've been a useful part of the program...

    "Transparency and Rule Of Law Will Be The touchstone of this administration"... yet in NY, something as significant as this is not open to the public...

    disappointing...

  4. It's in secret because they know the people would be appalled by the judges machinations.

  5. What happened to America?
    Is there no honesty and integrity with our Justice system anymore.
    The People are going to have to rise up and have a revolution as our politicians, Judges, lawyers, etc. have all become corrupt and are going to make America fall from within itself.
    Every day the common people work hard to survive and pay the saleries of these people who are running us into the ground.
    Its like having internal terrorists killing us from the inside out.
    Our poor children have nothing to look forward too, and certainly no one to look up too.
