In this second half of the second decade of this millennium, consider the implications of two CPLR proposals awaiting action on the governor’s desk. The first1 would enact a new CPLR Article 21-A and broadly expand electronic filing of court papers, and the second2 would amend CPLR 2103, so that hard copy service of interlocutory papers can be made by mail from other states within the United States.
These amendments constitute a minor tweak for interlocutory service of hard-copy papers, and a major overhaul of the e-filing system. Both types of media (paper and electronic) remain essential to New York practice, but the scope of the e-filing initiative is the clearest sign in years that the hard copy age is nearly over.
