New York State's Court Electronic Filing system, NYSCEF, gets a boost! Governor Kathy Hochul signed a bill (S7524/A10350) allowing New York Chief Administrative Judge Zayas to institute e-filing in any of the state's trial courts.

NYSCEF, for the most part, is an intuitive filing system. It is a resource beyond commencing lawsuits and filing legal documents. I use it as a research tool to analyze court papers of the advance sheets I read.

The expansion of NYSCEF into more counties is a positive step for e-filing in New York. The New York Law Journal and the New York State Bar Association cover the expansion here.
