2003 Hugh R. Jones Memorial Lecture

On March 31, 2003, The Fund for Modern Courts and Albany Law School hosted the second annual Judge Hugh R. Jones Memorial Lecture at Albany Law School.  Judith S. Kaye, Chief Judge of the New York Court of Appeals, introduced this year's speaker, Howard A. Levine, Associate Judge (ret.) of the New York Court of Appeals.  Judge Levine's lecture, 'The Common-law Tradition and its Critics: A Jonesian Response", argued for an evolutionary versus a revolutionary approach to jurisprudence. Well over 100 people, including: Judge Jones's son, Thomas Jones; Court of Appeals Judges Carmen Beauchamp Ciparick, Susan Phillips Read, Albert M. Rosenblatt, George Bundy Smith, Richard C. Wesley; and New York State Bar Association President Lorraine Power Tharp, gathered in the Dean Alexander Moot Courtroom to listen to Judge Levine's speech.
