New York Practice

Catalog description

This course covers the rules of practice in New York State courts, including questions of where to sue (jurisdiction, forum non conveniens, venue, subject matter jurisdiction), when a lawsuit may be brought (statute of limitations), the rules governing the commencement of an action (summons, service of process, commencement by filing), and the mechanics of litigation (pleadings, parties, motion practice, provisional remedies, accelerated judgment). Both sections at least touch upon the same range of topics; the principal difference between them is that the 3- credit course provides time to explore some of the important topics in greater depth.
