Personal Reflections ......................................................................................................................................... 6 In one of the longest and most in-depth articles ever to appear in the Federal Bar Council Quarterly, Pete Eikenberry and Anna Stowe DeNicola celebrate Judge Robert Katzmann’s tenure as Chief Judge of the Second Circuit. Speaking with more than 20 judges, court staff members, and law school deans, the not-to-be-missed article, “The Remarkable Seven-Year Tenure of Chief Judge Robert Katzmann,” reflects on Judge Katzmann’s background, judicial career, and involvements before and during his tenure as chief judge. From the Bench .............................................................................................................................................. 20 The newest member of the Board of Editors of the Federal Bar Council Quarterly, U.S. Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave, is the author of the next article in this issue, “The Impact of COVID-19 on Federal Court Proceedings.” Here, Magistrate Judge Cave discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected federal court litigation in the Second Circuit and how the courts in the Second Circuit have responded. In the Courts ................................................................................................................................................... 25 U.S. Magistrate Judge Lisa Margaret Smith writes about U.S. District Judge Philip M. Halpern of the Southern District of New York, who was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on February 12, 2020 and who was sworn in, quietly, on March 10, 2020 by Chief Judge Colleen McMahon. Legal History .................................................................................................................................................. 26 In his new legal history article for the Federal Bar Council Quarterly, entitled, “The Most Publicized Trial in History, and the Case with Perhaps the Most Legal Errors,” C. Evan Stewart reviews the trial of O.J. Simpson, which took place 25 years ago. He discusses errors by the prosecution and the trial judge, as well as the evidence of Simpson’s guilt. The Interview ................................................................................................................................................. 32 Joseph J. Ellis is a historian and author of books on the American Revolutionary era. This article results from a conversation Ellis had recently with Joseph A.

Sheila told the story of her attendance at the living former presidents’ dinner, which took place after she accepted the nomination but before she was inducted. She walked into the City Bar’s main hall. She was used to being greeted by staff who know her, but there was a young man sitting there who looked new. When she approached him, he said that there was not much going on that evening. She said that she was there for the presidents’ dinner. He looked puzzled.

  • Voting Rights in New York City: 1982–2006
    VOTING RIGHTS IN NEW YORK CITY: 1982–2006 JUAN CARTAGENA* I. INTRODUCTION TO THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT At the time of the 1982 amendments to the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and the continuation of Section 5 coverage to three counties in New York City, the city was at a major crossroads regarding faithful compliance with the mandates of the Act. Just one year earlier in the largest city in the United States, the largest municipal election apparatus in the country was brought to a screeching halt when the federal courts enjoined the Septem- ber mayoral primaries—two days before Election Day—because the city failed to obtain preclearance of new (and discriminatory) city council lines and election district changes.1 The cost of closing down the election was enormous, and a lesson was painfully learned: minority voters knew how to get back to court, the courts would not stand by idly in the face of obvious Section 5 noncompliance and business-as-usual politics would no longer be the same. Weeks later, the Department of Justice (DOJ) would not only of- ficially deny preclearance to the city council plan, but would find that its egregious disregard of the burgeoning African-American and Latino voting strength in the city had a discriminatory purpose and a discriminatory ef- fect.2 In this context, the 1982 extension of Section 5 to parts of New York City should not have seemed so anomalous to a country that continued to * General Counsel, Community Service Society.

Jacob Wohl, SDNY Case No. 20 Civ. 8668 (VM)(OTW) Dear Judge Marrero: Pursuant to this Court’s Individual Rule II(A), the Office of the New York State Attorney General (“NYAG” or “Office”), on behalf of the People of the State of New York, respectfully requests a pre-motion conference to file a motion to intervene in the above-captioned matter. Alternatively, NYAG requests that the Court treat this letter as a motion to intervene pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 24(a)(2) and (b)(1)(B) and grant this request. The NYAG’s proposed Complaint in Intervention is attached as Exhibit A along with a proposed Order attached hereto as Exhibit B. The NYAG brings this motion now to ensure that the Court has sufficient time to consider this request, while Defendants’ interlocutory appeal to the Second Circuit is still pending.1 ECF No. 81. Moreover, discovery is in a very preliminary stage and there has been no substantive motion practice seeking summary judgment on the merits of plaintiffs’ case. Accordingly, the parties would not be burdened by the addition of NYAG to enforce and represent the rights of New York, in addition to the individual claims raised herein.

Address Informing the Public about the U.S. Supreme Court's Work Ruth Bader Ginsburg* My remarks this afternoon concern informing the public about the work the Supreme Court does. I will speak of efforts simply to describe the Court's actions (both in-house efforts and press reports), and also of feedback on the Court's dispositions-comment on, or criticism of, the Court's work from people who keep us alert to our fallibility, reviewers who stimulate us to try harder, especially to write more comprehensibly. I. The Court speaks primarily through its opinions. It holds no press conferences and its members appear on no talk shows. But we try, in several ways, to advance public understanding of the Court's role and judgments. On mornings when decisions are announced, opinion authors read aloud in the Courtroom short bench statements, running three to ten minutes in length, summarizing what the Court held and the principal reasons for the decision.

  • Visiting Judges
    Visiting Judges Marin K. Levy* Despite the fact that Article III judges hold particular seats on particular courts, the federal system rests on judicial interchangeability. Hundreds of judges “visit” other courts each year and collectively help decide thousands of appeals. Anyone from a retired Supreme Court Justice to a judge from the U.S. Court of International Trade to a district judge from out of circuit may come and hear cases on a given court of appeals. Although much has been written about the structure of the federal courts and the nature of Article III judgeships, little attention has been paid to the phenomenon of “sitting by designation”—how it came to be, how it functions today, and what it reveals about the judiciary more broadly. This Article offers an overdue account of visiting judges. It begins by providing an origin story, showing how the current practice stems from two radically different traditions. The first saw judges as fixed geographically, and allowed for visitors only as a stopgap measure when individual judges fell ill or courts fell into arrears with their cases. The second assumed greater fluidity within the courts, requiring Supreme Court Justices to ride circuit—to visit different regions and act as trial and appellate judges—for the first half of the Court’s history. These two traditions together provide the critical context for modern-day visiting. DOI: https://doi.org/10.15779/Z38ZK55M67 Copyright © 2019 California Law Review, Inc. California Law Review, Inc.
