"The Robert Abram’s Building of Law and Justice (dedicated in 2009) was once commonly known as The Justice Building. It is one of the single most important structures in The Empire Plaza and my heART. As one of the most important structures in The Nelson D. Rockefeller Empire State Plaza, it was built in 1972 and contains courthouse that are used by The New York State Unified Court System. Within this building you will also find The New York State Vietnam Memorial which has rotating exhibits about the history of those who served in Vietnam, the war, the aftermath, and all the lives it touch-past and present. The New York State Attorney General’s Office is also located in this building; this is where a LOT of the magic happens. There is a wonderful team working together to build a better, safer, and stronger future for our citizens and our country. I know because I be meet them! But don’t think you can just mosey on in~ this is among one of thee most secure buildings in the state and rightly so. The security is the hallmark of this country and they serve, protect and defend the rights of the citizens, uphold Constitutional Rights and are among the kindest humans I’ve been lucky enough to meet."
