This presentation was prepared for Professor Bonventre's Court of Appeals Intensive class in the Spring of 2016.
This PowerPoint presentation is the product of research regarding the voting patterns of former New York Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman's voting patterns. It is based on the dissenting opinions Lippman authored throughout his 9 year tenure on the New York's high court.
His dissents evince a strong dedication to and passion for equal justice for the less advantaged, and this is especially conspicuous in criminal cases. This presentation focuses on four of these dissents. Two are from his first two years and two from his final two years on the Court.
