In 2011, while privileged to serve as a judge in the Commercial Division, I reviewed the third edition of Commercial Litigation in New York State Courts for the New York County Lawyers’ Association and wrote that the six volume set, with appendix, was “[l]ocated on the bookshelf behind my desk, within easy reach.”

Since my retirement from the bench in 2012, the third edition has continued to remain close at hand. Now, with publication of the fourth edition, which has grown from six volumes to eight volumes, still with a separate appendix, it will continue to remain as an oft-referred-to invaluable resource on my (newly strengthened) bookshelf.
