Supreme Bronx Civil Term Adds Fillable Forms to its Site

The Supreme Court, Bronx County, has added excellent fillable Civil Term forms to their website. To access the forms, you need to install a browser plug-in from ScanSoft but the experience is well worth it. The practical benefit is that counsel can fill in the forms prior to scheduled conferences, swap terms and orders by fax with their adversaries, and have the forms ready in triplicate when they arrive in Court for their conference appearance.
