The Annual Chief Justice Joseph Weintraub Lecture at Rutgers Law School in Newark has long been one of the premier events in the New Jersey legal community. The Law School has announced that the 39th Annual Weintraub Lecture will take place on October 30 and that the Appellate Division’s own Judge Sabatino will be this year’s speaker. His topic will be “As We ‘Play it Again’: How the Proliferation of Video and Audio Evidence is Transforming Appellate Review.”

Judge Sabatino is a recognized authority on evidence who has taught that subject at Rutgers Law School in Camden for a number of years, published many notable opinions on evidence issues, and written an article on the topic of this lecture that appeared in the Temple Law Review earlier this year. He is uniquely qualified to educate us all about a subject that, in this electronic age, is looming larger and larger on the appellate stage. It should be a lecture well worth hearing.
