[AdvocacyInstitute]

This event is open to law students, faculty and staff.

Hon. Ralph A. Boniello III ’69, New York State Supreme Court Justice in Niagara County, will be holding Special Term sittings (for actual civil cases) once a month in the Francis M. Letro Courtroom. The first sitting will be on Wednesday, September 25 from approximately 9:30 am - 12 noon. After each sitting, there will be an opportunity for students to ask Justice Boniello (and perhaps the attorneys) about what they observed in the courtroom. More details to follow.

The schedule will involve some combination of bench trials, motion hearings and other civil matters. In advance of each sitting, Hon. Boniello will highlight cases that may be of special interest to law students. Stay tuned for more information on how students will be able to access the papers online prior to oral argument.
