N.Y. Judiciary Law § 24: Compensation of judges after removal

§ 24. Compensation of judges after removal. Any judge or justice of

any court who shall be removed pursuant to section nine of article six

of the constitution, for any cause not involving moral delinquency,

shall continue to receive, until the expiration of the term for which he

was elected, or until the time fixed by this section, a sum equal to

one-half of the salary of his office as fixed by law at the time of such

removal, to be paid to him at the same times and in the same manner as

said salary was payable when he was so removed. If said sum would exceed

three thousand dollars no greater sum shall be annually paid said judge

or justice than three thousand dollars. The payment of any sum pursuant

to the provisions of this section shall cease at the death of such judge

or justice or on the last day of December next after he shall be seventy

years of age, notwithstanding the term for which he was elected shall

not then have expired. No person shall be entitled to the benefit of

this section unless the resolution of removal shall state that he is

removed for a cause not involving moral delinquency, and shall recommend

the continuance of such compensation.
