NY’s virtual courts now accepting non-emergency pending matters
New filings still not accepted as the court evaluates future plans
After weeks of only hearing arraignments, bail applications, orders of protection and select “essential” matters, the New York State Court System has officially opened up to non-essential, non-emergency pending cases.
On Monday, the courts opened back up for pending cases that involve torts, asbestos, commercial, matrimonial, trust and estates, felony, family and a few other cases.
The court is still not accepting filings on new “non-essential” matters.
