N.Y. Judiciary Law § 147-a: Powers of justice of supreme court

§ 147-a. Powers of justice of supreme court. Any justice of the

supreme court has power to hold a special or trial term of the supreme

court in any county for the whole or any portion of the term, and to act

upon any business which regularly comes before the term in which he is

sitting, except where he is personally disqualified from sitting, in a

particular action or special proceeding. Each justice, at all

reasonable times, when not engaged in holding court, must transact such

judicial business as may be done out of court.
