Written Memories

As we mark the 125th Anniversary of the United States District Court for the Western District of New York, we reflect on the enduring legacy of justice that has been built over more than a century. We invite you to share your favorite memory of practicing in the WDNY by submitting a written memory no more than 125 words in length to 125thAnniversary@nywd.uscourts.gov.

Video Vignettes

In the Fall of 2024, the Court invited attorneys and staff to share their memories of the Western District of New York, challenging them to keep their recordings limited to 125 seconds in honor of our 125th Anniversary. Additional recording dates will be scheduled throughout our anniversary year. Please email 125thAnniversary@nywd.uscourts.gov if you would like to participate.
