A state working group evaluating the digital future of New York's courts released a set of recommendations Monday, highlighting how a centralized online portal could help litigants navigate the "vast and often confusing and burdensome labyrinth" of the state court system.

Chief Judge Janet DiFiore created the Commission to Reimagine the Future of New York's Courts in June, and the commission has unanimously adopted the report of the Online Courts Working Group, led by Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison chairman Brad Karp and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher partner Mylan Denerstein.
