Go Digital or Go Home: What NY’s e-Filing Requirement Means to Litigators
As any seasoned litigator knows, winning cases on appeal is pockmarked with many pitfalls: filing the proper documents, filing on time and the disposition of the judge are but a few of them. These challenges are nearly as old as the legal profession itself. Perhaps Cicero could empathize.
But there is a challenging new requirement arising in one state where failure to comply could mean an appeal is automatically lost. It is the requirement that documents pertaining to certain matters in specific jurisdictions in New York must be e-filed.
As if the prospect of automatically losing on appeal wasn’t serious enough, there is more. This requirement is still evolving; the latest rulings are posted in several places, with no one place where a litigator can go and be assured that he/she has the latest and most reliable information on the subject.
Short of hiring an army of paralegals just to keep up, what is a New York litigator to do? That litigator can rely upon Practical Law.
