New York's History...
On September 24, 1789, President George Washington
signed into law the Judiciary Act, which marked the beginning of our
national system of American law. Two days later, the President
commissioned Richard Harison as the first "United States Attorney
for the New York District." On November 3, 1789, thirteen weeks
before the Supreme Court held its first session, the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York opened its
courtroom in a market building, located at the foot of Broad Street
in lower Manhattan. One of its first orders of business was to
record Richard Harison's commission as the United States Attorney
for this District. By the spring of 1790, the United States
Attorney's Office had brought successfully its first criminal and
civil cases before a New York Federal court.
From those early days and throughout its history, the United
States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York has
distinguished itself as one of the nation's premier legal
institutions by consistently taking center stage in the evolutionary
process of our constitutional mandate, as well as spearheading
innovative federal litigation and law enforcement efforts. Because
of this leadership role and a long standing tradition of
independence, incorruptibility and dedication to the public
interest, many bright men and women continue to be attracted to
serve as Assistant United States Attorneys in this District. Over
the years, the many men and women who have served in the Office have
become leaders in their communities, law schools, the bench and the
bar. Southern District alumni and alumnae have made enormous
contributions in many of the nation's leading judicial
tribunals--the United States Supreme Court, the United States Court
of Appeals, the United States District Courts, the New York Court of
Appeals, the New York State Supreme Courts, and others. In the
private legal sector, major law firms carry the names of former
Assistants, names like Webster, Dewey, Schwartz, Thacher, Coudert,
Leisure, Newton, Reavis, Cahill, Patterson. And, the Office alumni
and alumnae frequently contribute to the political process as
federal, state and local legislators and officials, and molders of
the public administration and policy positions. Throughout their
work, they have continued to be guided by a tradition learned in the
Southern District--a tradition of excellence.

Biographical Note
Harison received his Columbia
degrees in the same years as John Jay, and they each
received an LL.D. from the University of Edinburgh, 1792. He
was Secretary of the Regents of New York State, 1784-1790;
vestryman, warden, and comptroller of Trinity Church, 1783,
1788-1827, where he is buried; Delegate to the New York
Constitutional Convention; Member, New York Assembly,
1788-1789; Trustee, Columbia College, 1788-1829; U.S.
District Attorney for New York State, appointed by George
Washington, 1789-1801; Recorder, New York City, 1798-1801.
His second wife, Frances, was daughter of George Ludlow,
jurist and loyalist, and niece of Daniel Ludlow, merchant
and banker.
Scope and Contents
The correspondence consists of
letters from Richard Harison to his wife, Frances,
1790-1794, from his trips to Albany and one to Philadelphia.
There seem to be periodic meetings with various well-known
legal figures including Egbert Benson, Josiah Ogden Hoffman,
Abraham Ten Broeck, Morgan Lewis, and William North, who are
mentioned in the letters. Two letters from Princeton and
Philadelphia, Jan.-Feb. 1794, have interesting reference to
Citizen Genet. Of his wife's letters to him, from New York,
sixteen were while he was in Poughkeepsie at the
Constitutional Convention in 1788, and three letters,
1783-1784, were sent to him in New Jersey while she was
attending to family affairs in New York during his exile
from the city. The manuscripts include his commonplace book,
entitled "Extracts from various authors, upon several
subjects," [after 1763]-1781, and ten genealogical and
biographical records from his family papers. |
