Brooklyn Supreme Court to begin in-person appearances for criminal cases on July 20
Grand juries will be back by Aug. 10, but in-person appearances in the Brooklyn Supreme Court, Criminal Term will start even before then.
Supreme Court Administrative Judge Matthew D’Emic sent out a letter this week to various legal aid groups, including Brooklyn Defender Services, where he announced that there will be an increase in the amount of in-person appearances in the court starting on July 20.
“As part of its Phase Three plan, the criminal term of Kings County Supreme Court will carefully resume in-person court appearances in limited parts for counsel and non-jailed defendants commencing July 20th,” Justice D’Emic wrote.
