Leaders of the bench & bar discuss this year's Law Day theme—Separation of Powers: Framework for Freedom.
By Janet DiFiore, Chief Judge, State of New York | April 30, 2018
This ingenious “framework for freedom” is not self-executing or self-sustaining. It requires every one of us who has committed our professional lives to the law to be vigilant in defending judicial independence and to work earnestly to promote fair and effective justice institutions that are valued by the public.
By Lawrence K. Marks, Chief Administrative Judge, New York State Unified Court System | April 30, 2018
Separation of powers was designed to bind governmental authority by creating tension among the branches, with each limiting the others. Nevertheless, to accomplish important goals and necessary reforms, the three branches of government frequently must collaborate and support one another to be successful.
By Rolando T. Acosta, Presiding Justice, Appellate Division, First Department | April 30, 2018
As we celebrate Law Day and contemplate the doctrine that forms the very foundation of our government, let us commit to doing our best, as lawyers and judges, to restore our fellow citizens' trust in our core institutions.
By Alan Scheinkman, Presiding Justice, Appellate Division, Second Department | April 30, 2018
CPLR Article 78 represents a careful balancing of the powers of different branches of our government. Through the litigation and determination of Article 78 proceedings, we all play our part in preserving the Rule of Law.
By Elizabeth A. Garry, Presiding Justice, Appellate Division, Third Department | April 30, 2018
As the branches occasionally struggle with the scope of their respective powers, and as we in the courts work to uphold our judicial duties without encroaching on our legislative and executive colleagues, it is clear that checks and balances are as fully relevant and important today as they were at our nation's founding.
By Gerald J. Whalen, Presiding Justice, Appellate Division, Fourth Department | April 30, 2018
The bulwark of a strong and independent judiciary is necessary to protect our country against such momentary passions—compelling though they may be—for if we fail in that, we lose our very foundation.
By Sharon Stern Gerstman, President, New York State Bar Association | April 30, 2018
As lawyers, we know how important an independent judiciary is. On this Law Day, let's make sure our fellow citizens understand it, too.
