Trinity Students Meet Supreme Court Justice on D.C. Trip

Seventh and eighth grade students from Trinity Academy in Caldwell met with U.S. Supreme Court Justice — and former Trinity Academy parent — Samuel Anthony Alito, Jr. during an exclusive visit to the United States Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. earlier this month.

During the 45-minute private session in the "lawyers lounge", Justice Alito took time from his busy day to answer numerous questions from the students. The students gained valuable insight to how the Supreme Court works.  

During the trip, the students also visited the United States Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial and the new Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial. 

Alito lived in West Caldwell with his family before his Supreme Court nomination by President George W. Bush. He has served on the nation's highest court since January 2006.
