Like Scrooge in Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” The New York Law Institute is being haunted by ghosts this Holiday season…. Spirits from the Research Past, Present, and even Future have made their presence known at our 9th floor location at 120 Broadway….
NYLI’s “Equitable” doorknob, historical & seasonally decorated –but not ghost-proof!
Ghost of Research Past came in the form of an Elf, who wandered NYLI’s extensive superseded and historic collections and began to communicate with the O’Conor Bust….
