EDNY and Federal Bar Association host fourth annual EDNY Justice Institute
The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York and the EDNY Chapter of the Federal Bar Association are hosting their fourth annual EDNY Justice Institute at the Touro Law Center in Central Islip next week.
The institute is a week-long civics education program led by Judge Joseph Bianco to teach 10th graders the workings of the federal court and the criminal justice system. It was developed by the Second Circuit’s civics education initiative — Justice for All: Courts and the Community.
The students will hear from a whole array of professionals who work in the court including five federal judges, Suffolk County District Attorney Tim Sini, two FBI agents, a U.S. Secret Service agent, an ATF special agent, a deputy U.S. marshal, federal prosecutors and criminal defense lawyers.
