N.Y. Uniform Dist. Ct. Act § 2410
It shall be the duty of the first judicial district to provide suitable places for holding court in accordance with the designation made by the board of judges as hereinbefore provided. The judges assigned by the board shall hold court in one or more parts in each district as established, and on such days as fixed by said board and at places provided by the first judicial district or, in the event of failure to provide such places, at any places designated by the board of judges. If there is only one part of the court in a district, the office of the clerk of such district and the place for holding the court thereof may be located outside of the district provided it is within fifteen hundred feet of the district boundary line. Civil, small claims and criminal matters filed, made returnable, processed or tried in such clerk's office or places for holding court designated by the board of judges and located outside of a district as herein provided, shall be deemed for purposes of this charter to have been filed, made returnable, processed or tried in the district for which such office or courthouse was provided. During the months of July and August at least one part of the court in each district shall be in session at least three days in each week to hear civil and criminal cases, and shall try summary proceedings, actions for wages and, on good cause shown, other actions where the rights of the parties may be jeopardized by delay, and such other actions as the court may deem proper to be tried; and except for illness each judge shall be available for service as assigned by the board of judges during eleven months of the year. The president of the board of judges shall assign any judge or judges of the district court to perform without additional compensation the duties of acting police justice in any village within the first judicial district upon the request of the board of trustees thereof.
