Attorney FAQs
We are beginning a project to provide quick answers to most questions practicing attorneys have for personal injury, Labor Law, malpractice, and strict liability cases. They will be listed on this page in an outline format with links to the individual FAQ pages. Most FAQs will explain how to search the issue using the search feature of the New York Torts Weekly. Some will include specific case citations. Items without links are topics we are currently working on.

- How to Subpoenaed Records for trial. Subpoenaed records is an essential tool for any trial. They lay the foundation for expert testimony and in many cases provide prima facie proof of their content. Review the Subpoenaed Records FAQs pages several months before an anticipated trial date to review how to subpoena records so they are self authenticating and lay a foundation for those that are automatically admissible, or to object to their admission.
