2006 New York Code - Temporary Assignments Of Judges And Justices.

 
  § 107. Temporary assignments of judges and justices.
    The chief administrator of the courts may temporarily assign any judge
  or  justice  of a city, town or village court to a city court within the
  county of such judge's or justice's residence, or any  adjoining  county
  within the same judicial district; provided, however, no town or village
  justice  may  be temporarily assigned hereunder unless he is an attorney
  admitted to practice law in this state for at least  five  years.  While
  temporarily assigned hereunder, any such judge or justice shall have the
  powers,  duties  and  jurisdiction  of a judge of the court to which the
  assignment is made. After the expiration  of  any  temporary  assignment
  hereunder,  the  judge  or  justice  assigned shall have all the powers,
  duties and jurisdiction of a judge or justice of the court to which  the
  assignment  was made with respect to all matters pending during the term
  of such temporary assignment. Such judge or justice shall be entitled to
  such compensation and travel expenses as the chief  administrator  shall
  prescribe by rule.
