What's New
-    The The 2007 New York Official Reports Style Manual is now available in both HTML and PDF formats. The new Style Manual contains revisions and updates to the formatting and citation rules applicable to New York decisions and legal documents. Effective October 1, 2007.

-    The Official Reports Case Name and Citation Locator provides a comprehensive repository of all approved New York Official Reports case names and their citations. All citations to New York cases should use the approved case name and the Official Reports citation. Our locator permits searches by citation or party name.

-    Although our Advanced Search Form is ideal when you wish to search by party, judge, date, docket number, or citation, there are times when a simple full-text search will suffice. Use our new Quick Search, available on this page and many other pages, to quickly search our decisions, motions or the entire Official Reports Web site.
