All New York judges to be back in court in three weeks [View all]
ALBANY – All state judges and their staffs are expected to be back to working at their assigned courthouses in three weeks, the state’s top judge said Monday in her weekly address.
Chief Judge Janet DiFiore said the court system is incrementally returning to work with staffing levels at 80 percent in courts outside New York City and 75 percent within the five boroughs.
The entirety of judges and their staffs is expected by May 24, DiFiore said.
“Our re‐staffing sends an important message to the public, and to our partners in government that our judges and staff are present in our courthouses doing the people’s business and supporting the state’s economic reopening at this critical time when the COVID metrics have improved significantly, more and more people are getting vaccinated and restrictions on business, cultural and recreational activities are being lifted,” DiFiore said in her Monday address, which she has given weekly since the pandemic started in March 2020.
