    By Jonathan A. Dachs | November 14, 2017

    In his Insurance Law column, Jonathan A. Dachs writes: In a series of recent cases, the courts have analyzed the insurer's obligation to disclose the contents of its files, including attorney communications with regard to the decision of whether to accept or reject a claim, notwithstanding the insurer's invocation of the “material prepared for litigation” and/or attorney-client privileges—with mixed results.

    By Thomas R. Newman and Steven J. Ahmuty Jr. | November 8, 2017

    In their Appellate Practice column, Thomas R. Newman and Steven J. Ahmuty Jr. write: The CPLR is very liberal in allowing appeals as of right to be taken to the Appellate Division.

Nor is the conflict that exists between broad U.S. discovery principles, on the one hand, and far more limiting laws of foreign countries, on the other. The issue, though, takes on new significance with the U.S. Supreme Court's acceptance of certiorari last month in 'Microsoft v. United States', where the Second Circuit quashed a search warrant seeking production of emails located on Microsoft's digital server in Ireland.
