Top Five Surprises and Disappointments Impacting New York Law in 2008

ADVERTISEMENTS

For the first time since I started writing this blawg, I am presenting my own end-of-the-year list.  Today's list is:

The Top Five Surprises and Disappointments Impacting New York Law

5. The Commission on Judicial Nomination does not recommend Judge Carmen Ciparick (or any other qualified woman, for that matter).

Read article here regarding New York Governor Patterson's reaction to the seven nominations.


4. Appellate Division, Third Department Justice Anthony Carpinello loses election.


An experienced, intellectual powerhouse loses his seat likely due to his position on the Republican ticket in the year of Barack Obama (see article). 


3. The New York Legislature passes law that changes New York from a "no-prejudice" state to a state that requires insurers to demonstrate material prejudice when insureds provide late notice of a claim.


The long-standing rule is toppled by S. 8610/A. 11541, changing New York to a prejudice state.


2. Chief Judge Judith Kaye is forced to retire based on outmoded 70-year-old age limit.


Here is an article about the Chief's retirement.



1. Former-New York Governor Eliot Spitzer's resignation.


Please feel free to provide more disappointments and surprises in the comments section.
