Appellate Division celebrates 50 years of Civil Appeals Management Program
Briefly

Justice LaSalle praised the program for its impact on the court's efficiency, noting that CAMP has been crucial in helping limit the number of appeals and easing the burden on one of the busiest appellate courts in the country. He highlighted the dedication of Justice Chambers, who has overseen the program's success in recent years.
CAMP was created in 1974 to facilitate settlements and encourage the resolution of appeals before they proceed through the full appellate process. Its establishment was driven by the need to alleviate the court's heavy caseload by promoting dialogue and negotiation among litigants.
Justice Chambers described CAMP's impact over the decades, pointing out that 'impressively, 45% of cases are fully withdrawn before perfection, which allows litigants to enjoy cost savings by avoiding the need to perfect an appeal.'
