For nearly 200 years, the New York Court of Appeals has resolved issues of paramount significance for New York and the nation. As the state’s court of last resort, its judges regularly issue landmark decisions on issues ranging from state common law to the United States Constitution. Moreover, its broad jurisdiction over a wide array of cases in New York often results in rulings of great importance in commercial and other matters. The last two years have marked an important turning point for the Court, with the appointment of a new Chief Judge and four new judges to the seven-member bench. At the same time, the Court continued to resolve a number of significant issues, often through split opinions with lengthy concurrences and dissents. In this exclusive one-hour presentation, three experienced appellate practitioners – Mylan Denerstein, Akiva Shapiro, and Seth Rokosky – explain key developments at the Court. They discuss not only relevant background and changes to the Court, but also recent and pending cases of interest in a broad array of areas, including constitutional law, jurisdiction, civil procedure, torts, insurance, consumer protection, and employment law.
