Rapallo and Justice Antonin Scalia Award LuncheonIn 1965, the Association established an Award to be given annually to an outstanding jurist, attorney public servant or distinguished citizen of Italian American descent in the name of Charles A. Rapallo. Justice Rapallo was among the first seven judges to serve on the new Court of Appeals, the highest state court in New York, when a new state constitution was adopted in 1869. He was the only jurist of Italian heritage to sit on the New York State Court of Appeals until 1962, when another Italian-American judge joined the Court. In recent years, the name of the award was changed to Charles A. Rapallo and Justice Antonin Scalia Award to celebrate the late Italian-American Justice of the United States Supreme Court Antonin Scalia. Typically, the Rapallo Scalia Award event entails a cocktail reception followed by a luncheon at an upscale venue in New York City. Judges and former award recipients are invited to attend and the cost of the general tickets include sponsoring the judges and recipients.The 2023 event was held at The Pierre Hotel in New York City. The event was attended by approximately 275 individuals, including attorneys and invited judges.3.
