Larry Cunningham
Professor Larry Cunningham, the Associate Academic Dean, testified before the Committee on Courts and Legal Services of the New York City Council about the right to speedy trial in New York City Criminal Court. His testimony follows a letter-to-the-editor he wrote on the subject to the New York Law Journal, where he argued that systemic reform is needed to the Criminal Procedure Law in order to reduce delays in Criminal Court, which primarily hears misdemeanors. Professor Cunningham testified at the invitation of the Honorable Rory Lancman, the chair of the committee. At St. John’s, Cunningham teaches Criminal Procedure and other courses.

Larry Cunningham
Associate Academic Dean Larry Cunningham’s article, Appellate Review of Unpreserved Questions in Criminal Cases: An Attempt To Define the “Interest of Justice,” was recently cited by the Supreme Court of Alaska in Moreno v. State, 2015 WL 404251 (Alaska 2015), a decision clarifying the scope of plain error review in criminal cases in that jurisdiction. The article was previously cited favorably by the Supreme Court of Mississippi in Wilson v. State, 96 So.3d 721 (Miss. 2012), which quoted from Cunningham’s article in support of its decision. The article was published in the Journal of Appellate Practice and Process at volume 11, page 285. It articulates a framework by which appellate courts can analyze legal issues that are raised for the first time on appeal.
