May 2008 issue:

The May 2008 Pro Se Newsletter, the newsletter of the New York State Unified Court System Newsletter, is being distributed because it contains at least two articles of possible interest. One article “Web-Based Services at the Supreme Court Criminal Term Library New York County” by me describes various web-based services to improve library service including access to online subscriptions to library materials. This article also mentions the backup support provided by the Public Access Library for public patrons.

A second article by my colleague Julie Gick at the Supreme Court Civil Term Library at 60 Centre St. discusses the use of records and briefs.

New York Governor David Paterson said yesterday May 29, 2008 that in the interests of firness and legal liability he is directing all state agencies to immediately recognize as valid same-sex-marriages solemized outside the State of New York. The Governor said that “if I didn’t take this action I would be open to monetary damages and I would be discriminating against individuals who are coming here from other jurisdictions who are allowed the right [to marry] …and are suddenly denied that right.”

Governor Paterson’s counsel David Nocenti prepared a memorandum dated May 14 in which he advised counsels of all state agencies in which he warned that agencies could be exposing themselves to legal liability if the Governor’s directive is not followed.
