As many of you may be aware, the judicial convention system -- the method by which New York State Supreme Court Justices have been selected for nomination and election since 1921 -- was found to violate the United States Constitution and is currently under scrutiny by our nation's highest court.
Last week, two Reply Briefs were submitted in the case, and we're pleased to provide our readers with copies of those documents.
Please use this link to download a copy of the Reply Brief filed by the New York State Board of Elections, Douglas Kellner, Neil W. Kelleher, Helena Moses Donahue and Evelyn J. Aquila .

Oral argument is currently scheduled for Wednesday, October 3, 2007 .
