On March 28, 1955, NYLS alumnus John Marshall Harlan ’24 formally took his seat as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. An article titled Mr. Worth Street, appearing in the April/May 1998 issue of the NYLS student newspaper The Reporter (https://digitalcommons.nyls.edu/newspapers/129/), provides a short sketch of the Justice’s professional career and his connection to the school. The law school celebrated the formal naming of the portion of Worth Street between Church Street and West Broadway as Justice John M. Harlan Way in May 1991 as part of the law school’s centennial celebration.
