The Appellate Division, First Department has expanded the categories of appeals subject to e-filing through the New York State Court Electronic Filing System (NYSCEF).  Effective July 27, 2020, e-filing is now mandatory for all matters originating in Supreme Court, Criminal Term; Family Court; Surrogate’s Court; and Court of Claims in Bronx and New York Counties.  With this expansion, e-filing is now mandatory for all matters before the First Department, except Original Special Proceedings and Attorney Matters.

The expansion applies to appeals that have already been perfected, and is required regardless of whether the matters were e-filed at trial level.  Attorneys in matters where notices of appeal have been filed are encouraged to immediately enter the initial information required for e-filing under 22 NYCRR § 1245.3.  There are separate 22 NYCRR § 1245.3. considerations for criminal and family matters with assigned counsel, and such practitioners should consult the notice to the bar.

DISCLAIMER: Because of the generality of this update, the information provided herein may not be applicable in all situations and should not be acted upon without specific legal advice based on particular situations. Attorney Advertising.
