New York Court of Appeals Roundup: Preserving Issues for Appellate Review
In their monthly column in the New York Law Journal, Roy Reardon and William Russell address a case in which the Court of Appeals considered the application of various criminal statutes to an Internet harassment campaign arising out of a dispute concerning the origin of the Dead Sea Scrolls. They also discuss other cases in which the court relaxed the standard for preserving issues for appellate review and provided greater clarity to the question of when a municipality is acting in a proprietary capacity for purposes of a negligence claim.
