New York Appeals

Albany Law School has launched a new publication entitled New York Appeals. Published by the Albany Law Review, New York Appeals will provide an annual roundup of notable issues confronted by the New York Court of Appeals, and practitioners in the New York State. According to their website:

Specifically, New York Appeals will be comprised of law review style articles covering topics ranging from recent high-profile decisions by the Court of Appeals and conflicts among the various departments in the appellate division to a variety of other issues facing practitioners in New York appellate practice. By publishing this issue, the Law Review hopes to create a useful resource for courts, practitioners, and academics concerning New York appellate practice, an area that has statewide—often nationwide—significance.
