By Thomas R. Newman and Steven J. Ahmuty Jr. | December 31, 2018
In their Appellate Practice column, Thomas R. Newman and Steven J. Ahmuty Jr. write: The protection of the record needed to preserve your right to challenge asserted error at trial consists of much more than bobbing up and down during trial to voice objections, although it is certainly necessary that timely and appropriate objections be made.

On Dec. 5, 2018, a unanimous panel of the Appellate Division, Second Department issued its decision in 'Shah v. Mo. M.

Aggressive or inattentive counsel can overdesignate those documents that are protected, adding burden and expense to the opposing party. Indeed, in a recent Commercial Division case, Google was sanctioned for just that.

In their Burden of Proof column, David Paul Horowitz and Lukas M. Horowitz write: Twenty years ago there was a push, albeit ultimately unsuccessful, to enact a parent-child privilege in New York.
