Welcome to the Home Page of
Committee on Civil Practice Law and Rules
The Committee on Civil Practice Law and Rules monitors current law
and proposed amendments to New York's code of civil practice and
associated court rules. The Committee also observes current legal
practice in order to give voice to matters which are of concern to the
bar. We issue a report on most legislative proposals. We also develop
original legislation which we believe is necessary or useful to the
practice of law in New York.
Our web site is intended to serve as a central clearinghouse for
members of our committee as well as members of the bar interested in
CPLR related issues. From this page, you can track CPLR legislation
introduced in the legislature for the current sessionor the previous
legislative sessions, with links to the bills, supporting memoranda,and
our legislative reports. Importantly, our committee also proposes
legislationwhich is designed to improve the practice of law. We also
have links to legal periodicals, law journals and other legal research
sites. Our pages are updated frequently, so check back here often.
The Committee is not an advocacy or political group. The membership
is made up of a wide cross-section of the bar association, including
members of the commercial bar, the personal injury bar (representing
both plaintiffs and defendants), law professors and judges.
Stephen G. Crane, Chair
