Free, Public Access to New York’s Official, Reported Decisions
The State of New York has provided a website providing free public access to the official reported decisions of the New York Courts.
Here’s what the website says about its updated pages:
This site is powered by Thomson West and permits text searches of court system’s entire database of court decisions, going back approximately ten years.
This service provides access to opinions of the New York Court of Appeals, the Appellate Division, the Appellate Term, the Supreme Court and miscellaneous courts. All opinions dated from January 1, 1980 and published or abstracted in the Official Reports through the most recent Advance Sheets are included. The source for these opinions is the New York State Law Reporting Bureau.
Opinions can be searched by word, official citation, official slip opinion number, docket number, case name, judge name, counsel name, opinion type (i.e., majority, concurring, dissenting) and decision date.
Copyrighted features of the Official Reports (e.g., headnotes, abstracts, summaries and points of counsel) are not included in this service.
