A New York Argument Statement is a written statement that is submitted to the court prior to a hearing or oral argument. It explains the facts of the case and the legal arguments the party intends to present. The statement must include the party's name, contact information, the caption of the case, the court in which the case is pending, and a summary of the facts and law that the party intends to rely on during the argument. The statement must be filed with the clerk of the court and served on the other parties prior to the hearing or oral argument. There are two types of New York Argument Statements: the "Notice of Intention to Make an Argument Statement" and the "Statement of Argument." The Notice of Intention to Make an Argument Statement is a formal notice that is served on all other parties prior to the hearing or oral argument. This lets the other parties know that an argument statement will be made. The Statement of Argument is the actual argument statement that is filed with the court and served on all other parties in the case. The statement includes the party's contact information, the caption of the case, the court in which the case is pending, and a summary of the facts and law that the party intends to rely on during the argument.
