Law Journal Supplement on Appeals

The August 31 edition of the New York Law Journal will contain a special supplement reviewing New York appellate court rulings over the past year, and addressing matters of appellate practice.

My contribution is an article on raising on appeal matters which were not preserved for appellate review in the trial court. While preservation of error is generally an essential ingredient of a successful civil or criminal appeal, the article discusses situations in which appeals courts will consider matters which have not been preserved for appellate review.
