Law Lessons from Est. of Claire Schinestuhl, etc. v. Director, Division of Taxation, __ N.J. Tax __ (Tax 2012); DOCKET NO. 007133-2011; February 2, 2012:

The court may take judicial notice of the prices for which a stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange on a particular date, if the information was available in the Business Section of the New York Times published on that date. See Evid. R. 201(b )(1); (3) (permitting judicial notice of “specific facts … as are so universally known” that they “cannot reasonably be” disputed or of specific facts “which are capable of immediate determination by resort to sources whose accuracy cannot reasonably be questioned”); Pugh v. Tribune Co., 521 F.3d 686, 691, n.2 (7th Cir. 2008) (interpreting analogous Fed. R. Evid. 20 I and finding court can take ‘Judicial notice of documents in the public record, including publicly reported stock prices”).
