About This Course

This CLE program will explain what litigators need to know about litigating in New York State Courts under newly issued Court Rules. By Administrative Order, new Uniform Rules of Court for NY Supreme and County Courts have been adopted specifically adding selected Rules of the NYS Commercial Division.

The program is presented by an experienced NYS and federal court litigator who will not only identify the new rules so important in representing your clients, but explain how the new rules are to be applied. If you are unaware of the new Rules and Commercial Division Rules, you will be at a severe handicap in planning your case and when appearing before the Court. Judges will expect you to know the new rules and so will your adversary. You will learn what you need to know for succeeding in your practice.
