Kings Supreme Court, Criminal Term, Announces NYSCEF Voluntary E-Filing Pilot Program

Kings County Supreme Court, Criminal Term has been selected to be the first court of criminal jurisdiction in New York State to introduce E-filing (NYSCEF). A voluntary pilot program for Criminal Term E-filing will commence on Monday, September 8th, 2025.  

This pilot program allows attorneys to opt into e-filing, providing flexibility during this initial phase. While participation is not mandatory, the program aims to demonstrate the benefits of e-filing and encourage widespread adoption.

The future site where attorneys would log on and file documents is linked here: NYSCEF Home. Attorneys admitted to the New York State Bar can access the NYSCEF site by logging on with their registration credentials, agreeing to the posted terms, and establishing an account.

EDNY Accepting Applications for Mediator Incubator Program

The EDNY ADR Department is currently accepting applications for a new pilot program entitled the EDNY Mediator Incubator.

The Mediator Incubator is designed as a means to recruit and train junior attorneys (less than 10 years of experience) to serve as mediators on the EDNY Mediation Panel. Incubator candidates will participate in an initial orientation and training session, and then be permitted to observe three EDNY cases and co-mediate three EDNY cases under the supervision and guidance of experienced EDNY mediators. Upon completion of their observations and co-mediations, incubator participants will be eligible to apply for membership to the EDNY Mediation Panel. Additional information about the Mediator Incubator is available here: https://www.nyed.uscourts.gov/mediator-incubator

As this is a pilot program, the initial class will be very small (most likely 4 candidates). Below is the link to the application which is due on April 1, 2019:

The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York serves a wide variety of litigants, including persons of varying age, race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, religion, socioeconomic and family status. The Court’s ADR Department recognizes that mediators and arbitrators with a wide variety of cultural and life experiences enrich the program by bringing diverse perspectives to resolving disputes. To that end, applicants of all diverse backgrounds and experiences are encouraged to apply.
