2006 New York Code - Time And Place Of Holding Court.



 
    §  2410. Time and place of holding court.  It shall be the duty of the
  first judicial district to provide suitable places for holding court  in
  accordance  with  the  designation  made  by  the  board  of  judges  as
  hereinbefore provided. The judges assigned by the board shall hold court
  in one or more parts in each district as established, and on  such  days
  as  fixed  by  said  board  and at places provided by the first judicial
  district or, in the event of failure to  provide  such  places,  at  any
  places  designated  by the board of judges. If there is only one part of
  the court in a district, the office of the clerk of  such  district  and
  the  place  for  holding the court thereof may be located outside of the
  district provided it is within fifteen  hundred  feet  of  the  district
  boundary  line.  Civil,  small  claims  and criminal matters filed, made
  returnable, processed or tried in such  clerk's  office  or  places  for
  holding court designated by the board of judges and located outside of a
  district  as  herein  provided,  shall  be  deemed  for purposes of this
  charter to have been filed, made returnable, processed or tried  in  the
  district  for  which such office or courthouse was provided.  During the
  months of July and August at  least  one  part  of  the  court  in  each
  district  shall  be  in session at least three days in each week to hear
  civil and criminal cases, and shall try summary proceedings, actions for
  wages and, on good cause shown, other actions where the  rights  of  the
  parties may be jeopardized by delay, and such other actions as the court
  may  deem proper to be tried; and except for illness each judge shall be
  available for service as assigned by the board of judges  during  eleven
  months  of  the  year. The president of the board of judges shall assign
  any judge or judges of the district court to perform without  additional
  compensation  the  duties of acting police justice in any village within
  the first judicial district upon the request of the  board  of  trustees
  thereof.
