Caroline Rule, as Counsel to the New York Council of Defense Lawyers, authored an Amicus Curiae brief in the New York Court of Appeals in regards to the case People v. Neulander in which the prosecution is appealing the Appellate Division, Fourth Department’s grant of a new trial to Mr. Neulander on the grounds of juror misconduct. The Amicus brief urges the Court of Appeals to affirm the Appellate Division’s decision, based both on New York law and on decisions from other jurisdictions around the country.
