The transition to a new chief judge for the first time in more than 15 years defined the New York Court of Appeals in its 2008-09 term, perhaps as much as its rulings did. The court made significant decisions on such issues as the constitutionality of the warrantless use of global positioning devices to track criminal suspects. But it was the departure of Judith S. Kaye and the arrival of the new chief, Jonathan Lippman, which left scholars and legal observers speculating about the direction of the state's highest court.

The transition to a new chief judge for the first time in more than 15 years defined the New York Court of Appeals in its 2008-09 term, perhaps as much as its rulings did.
The court made significant decisions striking down the constitutionality of the warrantless use of global positioning devices to track criminal suspects and of a Rochester curfew on youths under age 17. Judges also upheld the criminal convictions of L. Dennis Kozlowski and Mark J. Swartz for looting Tyco International.
