Sometimes you need a judge fast, and it doesn't always happen during business hours. There are, I've heard, judges who have made it known that they are available for emergency applications, and one could, I suppose, scour restaurants and country clubs until you find someone to sign your TRO, but now there is a better way. The Office of Court Administration has set up a central point of contact a toll-free telephone number and email address for attorneys to request to appear before a Judge: (800) 430-8457 or emergency@nycourts.gov. OCA staff will answer the call or email, obtain basic information from the attorney, and contact the appropriate Administrative Judge, who will make arrangements. Isn't that cool?
