After speaking with that client I determined he was really asking about when the New York state courts were again accepting filings of new, “non-essential” cases, such as personal injury or insurance coverage actions.
From a number of press releases and memoranda of the New York courts, I compiled and now share with you readers a list of the dates, by counties and regions, when the New York state courts were again "open of business" (i.e., accepting filings of new civil lawsuits):
