Albany Law School has hosted a session of the Appellate Division, Third Department each year beginning in 1995. When the first session at Albany Law School was held on Oct. 11, 1995, it marked the first time in over 85 years that the Court had sat at a location other than its home courtroom. That initial session also marked the beginning of a program whereby the Appellate Division, Third Department, began holding court sessions throughout the 28 counties that make up the Court's geographic jurisdiction.

Last year the Court's visit to the School featured a case that put Albany Law professor Michael Hutter against a former student Brett Knowles '05 involving a defendant serving two consecutive 25-year terms for attempted murder of two police officers. Click here to read the decision.

Presiding Justice Anthony V. Cardona, who has conducted the sessions at Albany Law School, said the sessions have given the students "a greater opportunity to observe the appellate process first hand."

The session began at 1:30 p.m. in the Dean Alexander Moot Courtroom and was open to the public.
