Apr 22, 2006 -- On Feb. 21 and 22, SSSB and SCW students studying business law with visiting assistant professor Dr. Robert Greenberg, traveled to Washington, D.C. to attend a session of oral argument at the Supreme Court of the United States. The trip, conceived two years ago by Dr. Greenberg, followed the itinerary of the successful 2005 trip with some modifications and improvements. Dr. Greenberg noted that students on last year's trip indicated that they would have liked an additional organized activity. Due to the efforts of Sara Lachterman (SSSB ’06), the 24 students who participated in this year's trip enjoyed a tour of the Capitol led by staffers from the office of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. While some participants then headed off to find kosher food before the bus ride back to New York, others headed to the National Archives where they saw the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, and the Bill of Rights inside their bronze, bullet-proof, and helium-infused encasements. “I certainly thought that everything went smoothly, and that students not only learned something but had an enjoyable time as well. The only thing that we will try to add on next year is the meeting with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, which did not work out this year, despite tremendous persistence on the part of participant Devora Cohen (SSSB ’06), due to scheduling issues on the part of Justice Ginsburg.” The comment which appeared most frequently on this year’s evaluation forms was to “leave for Washington, D.C. earlier in the day so that we have even more time down there.” Dr. Greenberg has already indicated to students that he is hopeful of repeating the Supreme Court trip in Spring 2007 and is considering other ideas for a trip during the Fall 2006 semester to accommodate more students interested in outside-the-classroom learning experiences.
