The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York held a Special Session of Court on September 8 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. The purpose of the special session was to honor those in the federal courthouse community who kept the wheels of justIce Turning after September 11. Some of the honorees include the U.S. Attorney's Office, New York Federal Defenders, courthouse employees, and the United States Marshals Service.
Sister Act star Victoria Clark was on hand to deliver a special performance and meet the Courthouse employees. BroadwayWorld was there and brings you photo coverage below.
The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York is the oldest federal district court organized under the Federal Judiciary Act of 1789-predating the Supreme Court by several weeks. Because the court has jurisdiction over matters arising in New York City, it is one of the nation's busiest courts; the courthouse on Pearl Street has been home to many notorious cases, including Bernie Madoff, Martha Stewart, and the September 11 trials.
