County Clerk and court information in most cases, both those in which a Request for Judicial Intervention has been filed and those in which it has not, and many documents in such cases are available on-line on this website (in the Supreme Court Records On-Line Library ("SCROLL")).

The court system also operates a program that monitors developments in groups of cases designated by subscribing attorneys. The attorney identifies one, two or a number of cases and each program will promptly notify counsel, including by e-mail message, of all developments in each case as reflected in the court’s computer system. This program, known as "CaseTrac," can be accessed at www.nycourts.gov (go to "E-Courts" and then to "CaseTrac").
