The District of New York held its first session on the first Tuesday of November 1789 at the Old Royal Exchange in lower Manhattan presided over by Judge James Duane, who was appointed by President Washington. It was the first court to sit under the new United States Constitution, preceding the United States Supreme Court by a few months.
This year in Model Courts of Justice, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, will resolve disputes between states under international law. Established in 1945 and located in The Hague, Netherlands, the ICJ settles legal disputes submitted by states and gives advisory opinions on legal questions referred by authorized UN organs and specialized agencies. The Court applies international conventions, custom, general principles of law, and judicial decisions in its proceedings.
