This letter is in response to the “perspectives” article written by Thomas M. O’Brian of the Legal Aid Society that criticizes Judge Debra Stevens Modica’s recent decision to allow a supporting deposition in a domestic violence case to be signed by an electronic signature (NYLJ, Feb. 2, 2015). According to O’Brian, Modica (who is the Supervising Judge of the Criminal Court Queens County) went too far in accepting an electronic signature because “[s]uch a sweeping change is only for the Legislature to put in place, not the Judiciary and certainly not a single judge.”
Mr. O’Brian, however, is wrong on all fronts.
