County Bar Association to host annual Law Day

NORWICH – The Chenango County Bar Association invites the community to celebrate Law Day 2016 at the Chenango County Courthouse this coming Monday, May 16, 2016 beginning at 1:30 p.m.

The Honorable Elizabeth A. Garry, of the Supreme Court Appellate Division; The Honorable Frank B. Revoir Jr., Chenango County Court Judge; and The Honorable W. Howard Sullivan, retired Chenango County Court Judge, will host the event.

2016 marks the 50th Anniversary of perhaps the nation’s best-known U.S. Supreme Court case, Miranda v. Arizona. The 2016 Law Day theme – Miranda: More than Words – will explore the procedural protections afforded to all of us by the U.S. Constitution, how these rights are safeguarded by the courts, and why the preservation of these principles is essential to our liberty. Justice Elizabeth Garry will be addressing this theme.

The program this year, will include the Chenango County Bar Association’s presentation of the 2016 Liberty Bell Award. The annual Liberty Bell Award recognizes the distinguished contributions made to the Chenango County community by non-lawyers who have fostered public understanding of the importance of law in our community.
