Chief Judge DiFiore hosts virtual Law Day with AG James and NYSBA Prez
While public gatherings have been put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, Chief Judge Janet DiFiore and Attorney General Letitia James maintained a 30-year tradition in New York when they hosted a virtual Law Day ceremony with New York State Bar Association President Hank Greenberg on Friday.
“This year we are pleased to continue our tradition, albeit in a very different way,” Chief Judge DiFiore said in a ceremony that was broadcast from the NYCourts.gov website.
“After speaking with our Attorney General, Letitia James, and our State Bar President Hank Greenberg, we agreed without hesitation that Law Day had to be celebrated,” DiFiore continued. “Our message to the public, particularly this year, must be clear and unwavering — Our justice system remains strong and resilient, our respective institutions are working together to ensure access to justice and we are supporting and upholding the rule of law, standing together against the disruption of the moment.”
