Brooklyn courts stay open despite the snow
Despite the intensity of the “bomb cyclone,” the courthouses in Brooklyn stayed open on Thursday for the few people brave enough to make it to Downtown Brooklyn.
Both the Criminal Court and the Supreme Court were open, but many cases were canceled. The courthouses, acknowledging the difficulty people would have getting to Downtown Brooklyn, asked attorneys to contact the judge’s chambers for guidance if they had trouble making it in.
In the Criminal Court, arraignment parts were expected to stay open throughout the day and into the night. However, Criminal Court was not issuing warrants for non-appearance and instead will pick “Administrative Adjourn Dates” for cases.
