NEW YORK– April 5, 2021-Greenberg Traurig, LLP, together with the New York State Unified Court System (UCS), released a report on April 5, 2021 that analyzes how evolving technologies and other developments may be applied to improve future trial practice in New York State. The Future Trials Report also offers recommendations regarding how USC may best prepare for, benefit from, and handle issues posed by such technologies.
The report was issued by the Commission to Reimagine the Future of New York’s Courts, whose members were appointed by Chief Judge Janet DiFiore in June 2020 and charged with making short-term recommendations to improve the delivery and quality of justice services, facilitate access to justice, and better equip UCS to keep pace with society’s rapidly evolving changes and challenges. The commission is chaired by Henry M. Greenberg, a shareholder in Greenberg Traurig’s Albany office and immediate past president of the New York State Bar Association. The Future Trials Working Group, one of six working groups or subsets of the commission, prepared the report under the leadership of Richard A. Edlin, vice chair of Greenberg Traurig and shareholder in the New York office, with the support of a team including Greenberg Traurig Shareholder Jennifer A. Surprenant and litigation Associate Keith Hammeran.
