ALBANY LAW REVIEW TO HOST
STATE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES FROM
AROUND THE COUNTRY
Thursday, April 3, 2014 at 2PM
The Albany
Law Review is hosting justices from state supreme courts from around the country
and the New York Solicitor General at the Eighth Annual Chief Judge Lawrence H.
Cooke State Constitutional Commentary
Symposium. The panelists will discuss cases in which their supreme courts
interpreted state constitutions to provide greater rights and liberties than
their federal counterparts. These cases
include topics such as marriage equality, protections against governmental
takings, free speech, and freedom of the press.
In the Spring of 2007, the Albany Law Review inaugurated an
annual tradition of honoring former Chief Judge of the New York Court of
Appeals Lawrence H. Cooke by holding the State Constitutional
Commentary Symposium in his name. In that first year, the
Symposium featured the Chief Justices of the Supreme Courts of Arkansas, Utah,
and Wisconsin, as well as a tribute to the Chief Judge of the New York Court of
Appeals, Judith S. Kaye.
WHO: Panelists include Special Honoree, Judge
Victoria A. Graffeo, Court of Appeals of New York; Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor, Ohio Supreme
Court; Chief Justice Stuart Rabner, New Jersey Supreme Court; Justice Jack L. Landau, Oregon Supreme Court; Justice
Richard N. Palmer, Connecticut Supreme Court, Barbara Underwood, New York Solicitor General
