Strange but true: The Republican Party Platform's plank on "medical liability reform" . . .

". . . [W]e will continue to battle for litigation reforms that help keep doctors in practice, adopt reasonable caps on non-economic awards in medical malpractice suits, and ensure that Americans have access to quality affordable health care.

Health Information Technology

Estimates indicate that between 44,000 and 98,000 Americans die each year from medical errors . . .[emphasis added]"

We've updated our site . . .

to bring NYC Part Assignments for the Supreme and Civil Courts to the "tool bar" on our home page. We've also updated the Queens Part Assignments to reflect the passing of Justice William Glover (Part 23; Justice Rosengarten temporarily presiding) and the resignation of Justice Simeon Golar (Part 24, Justice Golia temporarily presiding). (10/9/04: delete, undo, that was two websites ago; almost current links to Queens County judges can be found at the website of the Queens County Bar Association. Click here for listings.)

The Cornell Law Review online for free courtesy of HeinOnline.org . . . .

HeinOnline.org is a website providing access to a wealth of law reviews, geared mainly as a "pay" service for libraries. Check out their "HeinOnline Trial Access" from the home page and follow the links under "Guest Trial Access." The guest page allows access to three law journals, including about eighty-eight years worth of the Cornell Law Review.

It's your first trip to a court house you've never been to before . . . .

Profiles of the Judges of the Civil Court of the City of New York . . .

. . . may be found at the Civil Court's website for all five boroughs of New York City:
* Bronx
* Brooklyn

* Queens
* Staten Island.

The absence of an online NYS judicial directory has been the excellent focus of several of Joyce Purnick's NY Times "Metro Matters" columns . . .

. . . but we've found a site from www.law.com that might fill in the blanks until such a directory is published. Much of the information is dated and appears to have been updated last in March of 2002.

Paying NYC tickets . . . .
