Program Description
This fall, our “Update” program on the most
recent developments in areas that New York attorneys regularly handle
will cover civil procedure; matrimonial and family law; trusts and
estates law; business and corporate law; criminal law; and ethics and
professionalism.
All that is new in each field—cases, statutes, rules,
procedures and practice techniques—will be reviewed by an
experienced faculty member. The program agenda below lists just some
of the highlights featured in this year’s program.
Live sessions of Update 2009 will be presented in Syracuse
and New York City. Videotaped replays will be shown in
seventeen locations around the State. Please note that we are recording
both the Syracuse and New York City sessions, and each video replay will
feature the recording of the live session most appropriate to that
geographic locale—video replay sites in the First and Second
Departments will show the New York City recording; video replay sites in
the Third and Fourth Departments will show the Syracuse recording.
Please note: Newly admitted attorneys may only
receive credit for attendance at the live
sessions—not the video replays.
Written materials highlighting and digesting all the latest
developments in these five subject areas will be distributed at the live
and video replay sites.

ADJOURNMENT
Topic Descriptions:
BUSINESS AND CORPORATE LAW
The Business and Corporate Law Update will include a discussion
concerning: (1) statutory changes and case law development affecting
Limited Liability Companies; (2) statutory changes and case law
development affecting Business Corporations; (3) statutory changes and
case law development affecting Partnerships; and (4) Recent Tax Law
Development.
CRIMINAL LAW
The Criminal Law Update will include a discussion of new issues

insufficiency of evidence claims; (4) methods of preserving issues; (5)
new restrictions on “deadlock” instructions; and (6) recent

matters.
ETHICS AND PROFESSIONALISM
New York State was the only state in the United States to
follow the outdated ABA Model Code of Professional Conduct (the
Code). Effective April 1, 2009, the Rules changed. In an effort to
clarify and simplify the laws governing attorney conduct, the
Administrative Board of the Appellate Divisions has approved the Rules
of Professional Conduct (the Rules), based on the American Bar
Association’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct. This program
will provide an overview of what rules have totally changed, what rules
have been somewhat modified, and what rules remain the same.
MATRIMONIAL AND FAMILY LAW
This presentation and its accompanying written materials will
provide a comprehensive overview of the last year's developments in the
key areas of grounds for divorce, equitable distribution, maintenance,
child support, counsel fees, new legislation and amendments to court
rules, in addition to other topics.
NEW YORK CIVIL PRACTICE
The New York Civil Practice update will include discussion on
disputes about the notice of claim; removing cases to federal court;
longarm jurisdiction on Internet purchases; new OCA expedited procedure
when TRO sought; consequences of mailing papers from outside state;

debtor controls outside state (fixing situs of intangible property
