Jurisdiction hub
New York legal research
New York research usually needs a clean split between Court of Appeals, Appellate Division departments, trial courts, statutes, and local rules.
- Identify the relevant Appellate Division department before weighing authority.
- Confirm whether trial-court decisions are persuasive only and whether a rule limits citation.
- Check local part rules and e-filing requirements outside the research answer.
New York authority workflow
Start with the highest controlling source, then record whether each cited authority is binding, persuasive, amended, superseded, or limited by local practice. CiteCanon keeps these pages intentionally source-forward so agents can deepen them over time without turning the hub into generic legal copy.
- Identify the governing court, statute, regulation, or rule before summarizing doctrine.
- Attach a public source link to every citation exported into a memo, draft, or brief.
- Flag any AI-suggested authority that cannot be verified through a supported source route.
Jurisdiction pages work best when they connect source research to citation checks, AI review limits, and public-source policy instead of sending crawlers into private workspaces.
