N.Y. Judiciary Law § 79: Appointment of terms of appellate division in each department

§ 79. Appointment of terms of appellate division in each department.

The terms of the appellate divisions of the supreme court are to be

appointed by the appellate division in each department, and are to be

held at such times and places and shall continue as long as the

appellate division deems proper.

An appointment of a term or terms of an appellate division must be

made and filed in the office of court administration at least thirty

days before the commencement of such term or terms. The governor may,

when in his opinion the public interest so requires, appoint one or more

extraordinary terms of the appellate division of the supreme court in

any department. He must designate the time and place of holding the same

and he must give notice of the appointment in such manner as, in his

judgment, the public interest requires.
