New York Court of Appeals Roundup: In-State Law Office Requirement for Non-Resident Attorneys
In their monthly column in the New York Law Journal, Litigation Partners Roy Reardon and Bill Russell discuss two cases addressing questions certified by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. One case concerns a question of whether a non-resident lawyer admitted to practice in New York must maintain a physical office in the state. The other case addresses a question of contractual interpretation of an oil and gas lease in the context of then-governor David Paterson’s 2008 moratorium on “fracking.” This month’s column also discusses a case concerning jurisdiction over an appeal regarding police officers’ reasonable suspicion in stopping two robbery suspects.
