Cadets Visit the US Court of Appeals

Cadets in the Advanced Constitutional Law seminar visited the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Manhattan. The Second Circuit handles all federal appeals arising out of New York, Vermont, Rhode Island and Connecticut and is one level below the U.S. Supreme Court. The cadets were welcomed by Chief Circuit Judge Robert Katzmann, who was presented with an Army West Point shirt. The cadets observed several appellate oral arguments in Second Circuit courtroom. Afterwards, the cadets met and had lunch with five US Circuit Court Judges: Peter Hall, Dennis Jacobs, Raymond Lohier, Gerard Lynch and Robert Sack. Lastly, the cadets were escorted on a tour around the 27th floor outdoor walkway of the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse, where they observed fabulous views of the city.
