N.Y. Judiciary Law § 86: Designation by appellate division of special and trial terms of the supreme court

§ 86. Designation by appellate division of special and trial terms of

the supreme court. The justices of the appellate division in each

department shall have power to fix the times and places for holding

special and trial terms of the supreme court held therein, and to assign

the justices in the departments to hold such terms; or make rules

therefor; and may from time to time make additional appointments and

designations, or change or alter those already made.

The justices of the appellate division in the first department shall

from time to time as they may deem necessary fix a time and place in the

first judicial district for holding special terms for condemnation

proceedings affecting property in the city of New York located within

the counties of New York and Bronx and assign the justices to hold the

same. The justices of the appellate division in the second department

shall from time to time as they may deem necessary fix a time and place

in the second judicial district for holding special terms for

condemnation proceedings affecting property in the city of New York

located within such district; and in the eleventh judicial district for

such proceeding affecting property in such city located within the

county of Queens, and assign the justices to hold the same. The

assignment of any justice to hold a special term for condemnation

proceedings shall not have the effect of revoking his assignments to

other parts or terms of the supreme court and when not actually engaged

in holding such special term he shall hold such other parts or terms of

the court to which he has been or may be assigned. Any designation or

assignment to service in the said special term for condemnation

proceedings may at any time be revoked by the appellate division so

designating.
