May 1887: Newly appointed Chancellor Alexander McGill Jr. began hearing motions at his chambers, in an extension of the Liverpool and London and Globe Ins. Co. building on Mechanic Street (now Edison Place) in Newark. The space had been acquired a year earlier and renovated with two large court rooms, consultation rooms and a law library. “The new chambers will be very convenient to a large majority of the bar of Newark, for most of the lawyers are now gathered together in this and the old building,” the Law Journal editors noted.
