  • After decades of speculation and anticipation, in 2018, the four departments of the Appellate Division enacted comprehensive rules that changed appellate practice in New York State. This program will provide a detailed overview of the new rules, including appeals requiring electronic filing, the implementation of the statewide practice rules of the appellate division, and individual department rules. An expert panel comprised of representatives from the Appellate Division and a seasoned appellate attorney will provide insight into the best practices for navigating these new changes.

    Live Program: $199 for Members | $299 for Nonmembers
