N.Y. Uniform District Court Act § 2403: Districts and number of judges therein

§ 2403. Districts and number of judges therein. The county district

court system shall be divided into judicial districts as follows: The

entire district court system shall constitute the first judicial

district in which one district court judge shall be elected. Each town

electing to become part of the district court system, including the

three or more towns establishing the system, shall constitute another

judicial district, provided, however, that any two or more contiguous

towns electing to become part of the district court system which have a

combined total population of less than sixty thousand according to the

last census, shall constitute one judicial district, but provided

further, that if any of such towns shall thereafter attain a population

greater than thirty thousand, such town shall constitute another

judicial district. In each judicial district there shall be elected one

district court judge. The supervisors elected in the towns comprising

the first judicial district may, upon the recommendation of the board of

judges of the district courts, increase the number of judges in all or

any one of the districts provided that such new judicial post or posts

shall be filled for a full term at the next general election held not

less than three months after the creation thereof. For the purpose of

electing such judges and for the purpose of determining the boundaries

of such districts, any city hereafter created from the territory of any

town shall be considered to be part of that town.
