John M. Leventhal, an associate justice of the Appellate Division, Second Department, said in his keynote address at the Law Day commemoration of the Supreme Court, Kings County: Adams recognized early on the importance of the role of courts in society and the importance of courts as the last protector of individual rights against the abuses and excesses of government. I am proud to be able to report that our courts remain the protector of an individual's rights and a balance against unjust laws. We address wrongful convictions and provide due process to civil and criminal litigants alike.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower designated May 1 as Law Day in 1958.1 The U.S. Congress declared it as an annual nationwide event in 1961. Its purpose is to raise public awareness of American law and justice and their impact on our lives.
The theme of this year’s law day event was “The Legacy of John Adams.” As an attorney, John Adams is best known for his representation, in two separate trials, of the defendants in the incident that we know as the Boston Massacre.
