“The purpose of the business court is to expedite the processing of complex business cases and the Supreme Court has created a special court and assigned special judges who have been trained in the handling of complex business matters to process those cases and give them the special attention and appropriate attention that they need. So we have judges who are the business court judges in their respective counties advising practitioners about the process of the new business court which went into effect July 1,” Ryan said.
