New York S07695 amends the civil practice law to require juries to deliberate anew on all issues if an alternate juror is substituted.
New York S07695 amends the civil practice law and rules to change how juries handle alternate jurors. If an alternate juror is substituted for a regular juror, the entire jury must start deliberations over on all issues. However, if a verdict has already been reached on some issues, the jury only needs to deliberate anew on the unresolved issues. This change applies to all pending actions and proceedings from the effective date of the bill.
