Appellate Division, 2nd Department, to hold session at Hon. Albert Rosenblatt Dutchess County courthouse
Presiding Justice Randall T. Eng of the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Judicial Department, announced on Monday that the court will hold its first sitting at the historic Honorable Albert M. Rosenblatt Dutchess County Courthouse on Oct. 24.
Located in Poughkeepsie — approximately 90 miles from where the court generally sits at the Appellate Division courthouse in Brooklyn Heights ─ the Dutchess County Courthouse has great historical significance, both to the New York State court system generally and to the Appellate Division, Second Department, specifically.
“Last week I was honored to have the opportunity to attend the ceremony by which the Dutchess County Courthouse was dedicated to our beloved colleague, Honorable Albert M. Rosenblatt,” said Presiding Justice Eng. “I know of no better way for our court to acknowledge this historic moment than to hold one of our sessions in ‘Albee’s courthouse.’”
Hon. Albert E. Rosenblatt, or “Albee” as he is affectionately known, served as an associate justice of the Appellate Division, Second Judicial Department, from 1989 to 1998, when he was appointed associate judge of the New York State Court of Appeals.
