About the Event
A candidate for President - the presumptive favorite - goes to bed thinking they've swept the election, only to wake to find they've lost the White House... An UWS legal icon known for unwavering honesty had a parent forced to resign a judgeship due to political scandal...Sound familiar? History often does.
Robert Pigott takes us on a "hidden in plain sight" virtual tour of incredible people, places and it-happened-here events in legal history on the streets of the UWS and the City generally, drawn from his book, New York’s Legal Landmarks. We'll find courthouses past and present that were sites of sensational trials (both actual and in film), locations that figured in the nation’s constitutional history, law firms where great Americans practiced law and local ties to (guess how many) UWS Supreme Court Justices. Anyone interested in local history, lore, architecture and trivia will love this toboggan ride through all…
