Law and Order: Special Theater Unit
We’ve heard how contentious the process of confirming judges has become. So how exactly did Denny Chin get appointed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals by a 98 to 0 vote? Perhaps the senators took into account his extracurriculars. Chin has led an unusual project in which lawyers create documentary theater based on historical trials such as Lizzie Borden’s, for murder, and the espionage case against Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.
Studio 360’s Julie Burstein reported on the project last year, when Chin was sentencing Bernie Madoff to 150 years.
