N.Y. Uniform District Court Act § 2407: Board of judges

§ 2407. Board of judges. 1. The judges of said court shall constitute

the board of judges of the county. The judge elected from the first

district shall be the president. The meetings of the board shall be

public, except when such board shall be in executive session, and so far

as is practicable shall be held at regular intervals, and all its

proceedings shall be recorded by its secretary and shall be preserved. A

majority of the members of the board shall constitute a quorum. The

board may by resolution provide for the conduct of its meetings, the

keeping and preservation of its minutes and the public inspection

thereof at reasonable times; for the order of judicial business, the

manner of its discharge and the maintenance of order in and about the

courts; for the establishment of parts of the court and for the

assignment of judges to hold the several parts so established.

2. The board of judges shall designate the number and general location

of the places, one or more for each judge, in which court shall be held

in each district. The president of the board of judges shall preside and

shall be entitled to vote at all meetings of the board. In addition to

all the powers of a member of the board he shall exercise general

supervision of the business of the court and have such other powers as

may be conferred by resolution of the board. He shall whenever he deems

it necessary for the prompt disposition of business, assign any judge

temporarily to hold court in any district in the county, other than that

in which he had been assigned by the board, and he may transfer cases

for trial or for all purposes from one district to another. The acts or

directions of the president of the board of judges may be vacated,

amended or modified by a two-thirds vote of the members at a regular or

special meeting of the board.

3. The board of judges shall designate a clerk of the court to act as

secretary of the board and from time to time substitute another. Such

secretary shall serve without additional compensation. All necessary

disbursements of the board of judges and the secretary thereof shall be

a charge against the first judicial district and paid as other district

charges.
