Approved and Pending New York State Rules Review
As you already know this past year was one of the busiest years that we can
remember for New York State rules being amended or the adoption of new rules. We
thought it would be a good idea if we did a review of the amendments that were
approved and what rules are still out for public comment.

Watch NYS Electronic Files that you are not a
party on, and get updates every 15 minutes
For cases being tracked CourtAlert will alert you of every new NYSCEF entry on
the case. The alert includes the minute text and a link directly to the PDF. The
fact that you are watching a case is kept in confidence.
NYSCEF cases are searched every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
All NYSCEF Cases can be watched.
Fee: Tracking a NYSCEF case is $1.50 / workday, $45 per case for 30-day month.
Features:
This watch does not replace the regular CourtAlert NYS Supreme
watch for new filings, orders, dates, etc.. Information is available only from NYS Supreme
Court mainframe database used for the regular watches.
Users are advised to put watched NYSCEF case on both watches. The new service is
intended to elevate the need to manually review the docket sheet every few
minutes for high-sensitivity cases.
