N.Y. Criminal Procedure Law § 600.10: Corporate defendants; securing attendance

§ 600.10 Corporate defendants; securing attendance.

1. The court attendance of a corporation for purposes of commencing

or prosecuting a criminal action against it may be accomplished by the

issuance and service of a summons or an appearance ticket if such action

has been or is about to be commenced in a local criminal court, and by a

corporate summons if such action has been commenced in a superior court.

Such process must be served upon the corporation by delivery thereof to

an officer, director, managing or general agent, or cashier or assistant

cashier of such corporation or to any other agent of such corporation

authorized by appointment or by law to receive service of process.

2. A "corporate summons" is a process issued by a superior court

directing a corporate defendant designated in an indictment to appear

before it at a designated future time in connection with such

indictment. A corporate summons must be generally in the form of a

summons as prescribed in subdivision two of section 130.10. A corporate

summons may be served by a public servant designated by the issuing

court, and may be served anywhere in the state.
