Latest version.
  • 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.
