    Columbian Lawyers Association First Judicial Department Fiftieth Annual Rapallo Award Luncheon HONORABLE JOHN A. BARONE Justice of the Supreme Court State of New York Twelfth Judicial District April 18, 2015 The Waldorf Astoria CHARLES A. RAPALLO Charles A. Rapallo, whose father, Antonio Rapallo, was an attorney, educator, and linguist, was the first jurist of Italian American descent elected to the Court of Appeals of the State of New York. He was among the first seven judges to serve on the Court when the new state Constitution was adopted in 1869 after the Constitutional Conventions of 1867 and 1868. Sworn in July 4th, 1870 at 46 years of age, he served as an Associate Judge until his death on December 28, 1887. The first volumes of New York Reports, published during Judge Rapallo’s tenure on the Court of Appeals, contain many of Judge Rapallo’s opinions embracing a wide range of subjects and displaying the resources of a powerful mind informed by reading and reflection. In the combination of qualities which qualify an individual for the Court of Appeals, Judge Rapallo had few, if any, superiors. He possessed intellectual gifts of a high order, integrity of purpose, a calm and dispassionate temper, great good sense, a solid judgement, and these, united with learning and a power of philosophical analysis, constitute him one of the outstanding judges to have served on the Court of Appeals. Judge Rapallo was one of the dedicated lawyers and jurists responsible for the formation of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York; he was elected a member of its first executive committee.

  • Surrogate Champions for the Poor
    6 Surrogate Champions for the Poor The poor, like all constituent groups, need strong advocates in Congress. They need legislators who will devote their time to issues related to poverty, and who will advance legislation to address poverty-relevant issues. Without these legislative champions, it is unlikely that the interests of the poor will be raised on Capitol Hill. Without this initial recognition, it is unlikely that the House will pursue policies intended to help the poor. As Williams writes, “before government can act in a manner that is responsive to the interest of individual citizens, those interest must be articulated by a representative in a decision-making body such as a legislature” (1998, 24). Therefore, this chapter identifies and discusses these “champions for the poor.” The previous three chapters reveal that some poverty-related legisla- tion is introduced in the House, and that certain legislators are more likely to offer such legislation. However, these chapters also make clear that the representation of the poor in Congress is not straightforward. To the extent that it occurs, it does not follow the classical paths of collective or dyadic representation. Put differently, the champions of the poor are not the usual suspects. In this chapter, I examine an alternate pathway of representation – surrogate representation – wherein a legislator represents constituents beyond his own district. I establish the role surrogate representatives play in giving the poor a political voice, and show that surrogate representation is central to how the poor are represented in Congress. This focus on surrogate champions shifts attention to the activity of legislators throughout their careers in the House, rather than at one moment in time.

    Fordham Preparatory School Summer Academy Mission Statement and Program Goal The Jesuit educational mission advo- cates that an ethnically and economically di- verse student body creates a superior envi- ronment for learning and living.

Time after lunch is set aside for computer skills, theatre use, and opportunities for recreation.

  • THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 4, No. 9 (1982) the BRONX
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 4, No. 9 (1982) THE BRONX by Victor Mastro Lombardi's Packers, Pittsburgh's Super Steelers, Chicago's Monsters of the Midway, Cleveland's Big bad Browns, the glittering Dallas Cowboys and the ancient Canton Bulldogs, all claimed winners' thrones in the NFL. Soldiers Field, Wrigley Field, League Park, and Municipal Stadium burned with the fever of football, while gridiron ghosts of yesteryear ran, passed, blocked and tackled. Out of all this gladiatorial grandeur, one borough in a great city stands atop these mountains of football folklore -- the Bronx. Just across the East River from the Bronx, the Polo Grounds was the scene of many great football games during the 1920s-30s. Meanwhile, the Bronx was still a rookie in football experience. But Red Grange, the fabled Four Horsemen of Notre Dame, and Fordham's Seven Blocks of Granite left their imprints on football, playing games at Yankee Stadium. Furthermore, some of the early greats of the NFL came from or played high school or college ball in the Bronx. These included Sid Luckman, Ken Strong and Ed Danowski. Steve Owen, the legendary Giant coach, worked as a foreman in the Bronx coal yard. In 1934, the "Sneaker Game," perhaps the greatest comeback in championship play, resulted from shoes borrowed from Manhattan College in the Bronx. After that classic, no NFL team dared take the field in cold weather without having "sneaker" type footgear available. In the mid-1930s, Fordham in the heart of the Bronx boasted what might have been the greatest offensive and defensive line in college history -- the "Seven Blocks of Granite." Tackle Ed Franco was a consensus All-American.
