The Commercial Division Committee acts as liaison
between the bar and the Commercial Division of the Supreme Court of the
State of New York. It promotes communication between the bench and
the bar concerning the Commercial Division, and has helped shape the
development of the Commercial Division since its inception in New York
and Monroe Counties, and subsequent expansion to other counties
throughout the State. As part of its mission, practitioners in the
Commercial Division are able to express their views about the structure
of the Commercial Division, and comment on various matters of Commercial
Division practice, including the definition of a “commercial
case.” The Committee also participates in the drafting of
rules that refine the criteria for the assignment and retention of cases
in the Commercial Division, and govern practice in the various
Commercial Division venues. The Committee acts as a forum that
assists the Commercial Division in the fulfillment of its mission, and
promptly addresses any issue raised by the Commercial Division justices,
Court administrators, the bar, or the business community that affects
practice in the Commercial Division. The Committee accomplishes
its mission by recruiting members of the bar from across the State who
practice in the Commercial Division, regularly meeting with Commercial
Division justices and communicating about important issues relating to
practice in the Commercial Division.
The Commercial Division Committee is co-chaired by Paul D.
Sarkozi, Tannenbaum Helpern Syracuse & Hirschtritt LLP, New York
