A day after being named presiding justice of the Appellate Division, First Department, Rolando Acosta said he was honored to have the chance to “implement changes that will be impacting” the court.

“It’s important that the proper infrastructure is going to be there to bring the court in to the 21st century,” he said in an interview with the Law Journal Tuesday, adding that e-filing would “go a long way” in helping the court efficiently handle the volume of cases it sees each day.
