Remarks of Chief Judge Raymond Dearie, US District Court, Eastern District of New York, at the Grand Opening of The Gallery of Shorthand:
“It is so fitting that we find, in a very distinguished and historically sensitive way, an opportunity to salute that profession. I just cannot imagine where we would be in civilized society with our court system without the talent and professionalism of these men and women.
So while we enjoy this history, let it also stand as a monument to their enormous efforts and their dedication to the common good that we, as members of the court, litigants and lawyers, subscribe to every day.”
