Overview

Why You Should Attend

Every year, the New York Courts interpret, and re-interpret, the important procedural rules that govern litigation in New York State.  Perhaps of pre-eminent importance is the ongoing development of the law with respect to the draconian statute of limitations.  The Courts lack the power to extend the applicable statute, or to exercise discretion to assist a tardy plaintiff for good cause shown, or in the interest of justice.  It is vitally important for New York practitioners to stay abreast of developments in the law of statute of limitations.  Other New York practice rules, while perhaps less dramatic, are no less important.  Each year finds changes in the case law, and occasional statutory amendments, that any lawyer litigating in the State Courts must be aware of in order to practice effectively.
