On October 16, 2019, the Appellate Division, Second Judicial Department repealed its rules relating to its Appellate Terms (22 NYCRR Parts 730, 731 and 732) and adopted new rules. Those Rules, now laid out in Parts 730 and 731 of the Rules of the Second Department (22 NYCRR Parts 730 and 731), are effective on January 1, 2020, and shall apply to appeals in which a notice of appeal to one of the Appellate Terms is filed on or after that date. Counsel practicing in the Second Department are advised to familiarize themselves with the new Rules for the Appellate Terms, as in many respects they represent a change in the way in which those Courts practice. More information regarding the new rules and the changes contained in them may be found on the Appellate Terms’ web page at https://www.nycourts.gov/courts/ad2/appellateterm.shtml
