    A Celebration of Law Day – Norman Rockwell & the Bar: The Cornerstone of Democracy, Civics, Civility, Collaboration

    Join us for a SPECIAL PROGRAM in honor of Law Day, a tribute to Norman Rockwell as a chronicler of life in the United States, since his pictures tell stories that reflect a pride in the U.S., and a firm belief in its democratic heritage.

    While some may have dismissed him as naive, his total body of work depicts civility and fostering a collaborative spirit – especially in troubling times.

    His work portrays our yesterdays, and with a little effort we can see today and perhaps even again discover a path which might point to a better tomorrow.

    Wild Bill Donovan and the Origins of American Intelligence

    *Part of 6 Evening Bridge The Gap

    Described as “the last hero” by Dwight Eisenhower, Donovan lived many lives. He was a college football star, decorated soldier, successful lawyer and intelligence chief who left many legacies that spanned over five decades.

    Known as the “Father of American Intelligence,” he was instrumental after World War II in fashioning post-war security in reaction to the blossoming Cold War. Indeed, he was emblematic of another era — when America first found itself entering the world with the responsibilities of global leadership.

    Indeed, his is a fascinating story. Although his career had its ups and downs, he must be recognized as the spiritual godfather to the national security state.

    Transfer on Death Deeds Law Under NY Real Property Law, Chapter 50, Article 12 & Section 424

    On April 20, 2024, as part of the New York State Budget, New York State adopted legislation: the Heirs Property and Deed Theft Prevention Act of 2024.

    Among the many aspects of law was the creation of the Transfer on Death Deed (TODD) as defined in New York Real Property Law (RPL) Section 424.

    New York State has joined other states in recognizing the use of TODD, which in NY is limited to the distribution of real property upon death.

    This program will help you understand the purpose and ramifications of the new law, whose focus is to permit options to lengthy probate and judicial and trust administration proceedings, as well as the form itself and availability of revocation.
