Business Court Reports and Studies from 2019 to Present

When I began the Business Courts Blog in late 2018, I posted two separate pages of links to business court reports and studies issued by various entities over the years. These included a page of reports from 1994-2009, here, and from 2010-2018, here.  I do not purport these lists to be the complete embodiment of reports and studies issued over that time period; these are simply reports and studies I’ve collected or located over time.

Since then, other reports and studies have issued, which I’ve reported on as they occurred.  At this point, it makes sense to accumulate those reports and studies on a single page as well, so here you go:

2022 Annual Report for the New York State Unified Court System, section addressing Commercial Division

In recent years, New York has made numerous amendments to the Commercial Division’s rules to improve practice in the Commercial Division.  Each one of these changes is typically initiated with a memorandum supporting the change issued by the Commercial Division Advisory Council. Rather than re-listing links to all of those memorandums, I recommended opening the link to the New York category, here, and reviewing relevant posts concerning rule changes.
