Trial lawyers host CPLR update at Brooklyn Bar Association
The Brooklyn Bar Association got an update of New York’s civil practice law and rules (CPLR) from Justice Loren Baily-Schiffman courtesy of the NYS Academy of Trial Lawyers who co-sponsored the event in Brooklyn Heights last Monday.
“We’re privileged to have one of the hardest working judges in the court with us tonight,” said past president of the Brooklyn Bar Association (BBA) Steve Cohn. “She has multiple calendars, busy all the time, on trial, doing motions on the same time she’s on trial. She’s a former attorney with legal services, a judge of the civil court, acting Supreme Court, and I know that she has worked very hard in preparation for this program.”
The annual update was worth two professional practice CLE credits. During the two-hour program, Baily-Schiffman covered a variety of topics including significant recent case law, the impact of recent NYS Court of Appeals pronouncements and rulings as well as other disclosure issues.
