Essay: Appellate Review of Commercial Cases
March 13, 2013
David B. Saxe, an associate justice of the Appellate Division, First Department, writes: I suggested that at the First Department we should ask ourselves whether adopting changes to our treatment of complex commercial cases could legitimately improve the overall value and effectiveness of our court system in the eyes of the business community.

Essay: Improve Education but Do Not Create Specialty Appellate Courts
February 14, 2013
Leonard B. Austin, an associate justice of the Appellate Division, Second Department, writes: I read with interest the article by Justice David Saxe of the First Department. Were it a decision, I would respectfully concur in part and dissent in part.
