The practice of law in New York City is still in a "pandemic mode", as I call it. The courts, like Supreme Court (civil branch), Civil Court or Family Court, in all boroughs, are quite empty. I have visited last Friday Supreme Court at 60 Centre Street in Manhattan, and was able to witness only one trial going on in one of the parts on 3rd floor. The Family Court, New York County at 60 Lafayette Street, on the same day in the morning, was a place crowded only by court bailiffs and some clerks.Same story with the Civil Court, New York County, although there were some people at some parts. The most crowded place was the Criminal Court in Manhattan at 100 Centre Street, where in the arraignment parts it was business as usual. However, also in non-arraignment parts there seemed to be quite a lot of court traffic. For those, who are fed up with court video conferences and motions, and who crave face to face interactions with the judges and opposing attorneys, the Criminal Courts now appear to be the best place to practice law.
