Relates to public access to appellate briefs

S 508 requires New York's Court of Appeals to provide written copies of any appellate briefs (legal documents filed in appeals) to anyone who submits a written request to the clerk of the chief judge. The bill specifically mandates that victim names and personal identifying information in sexual assault cases must be redacted before releasing any documents. This law takes effect immediately upon passage, increasing public access to court filings while protecting sensitive information in certain cases. It directly affects the public and legal professionals seeking court records.
