Princeton Hosts Second Court Summit – Brings courts and technology together

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would attend Princeton.

The goal of the summit was to bring NCSC staff, court representatives and their system providers together in a non-tradeshow environment to talk about the current and future state of technology in the courts.

What do the Courts and Thanksgiving have in Common?

What do the Courts and Thanksgiving have in Common?

If you answered George Washington, you are correct.  President Washington signed the Judiciary Act of 1789 establishing the federal court system, and only days later proclaimed November 26, 1789 as a “day of public thanksgiving and prayer.”  The actual holiday we celebrate today was proclaimed by Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War in 1863. A lot has changed since the Pilgrims and Wampanoag Indians first Thanksgiving more than 400 years ago.  There was no turkey, potatoes, or pumpkin pie on the original menu, no NFL football or holiday shopping.
