Court of Appeals Judges Joke About Secret Handshake During Evening of Storytelling A packed room of students were treated to an entertaining evening of stories, tips for success, and humor from New York’s Court of Appeals judges. The March event began with Chief Judge Lippman promising to reveal all the “secrets of Eagle Street,” except for the “secret handshake.” The event was this year’s Chief Judge Lawrence H. Cooke ’38 State Constitutional Commentary Symposium, presented by the Albany Law Review.
