New First Department Rules

The First Department has modified Rules 600.10 and 600.11 to reduce the number of copies of briefs and records to be filed with the Court from 10 to 8.  They have also introduced an e-filing requirement.  Beginning July 1, 2010, parties must file a searchable pdf of the brief and beginning September 1, 2010, parties must file a searchable pdf of the record.
