N.Y. Civil Rights Law § 24: Privilege from arrest of officers of courts of record

§ 24. Privilege from arrest of officers of courts of record. An

officer of a court of record, appointed or elected pursuant to law, is

privileged from arrest, during the actual sitting, which he is required

to attend, of a term of the court of which he is an officer, and no

longer; but an attorney or counselor is not thus privileged, unless he

is employed in a cause, to be heard at that term.
