What to Expect
Judge Green has been on the Kings County bench for more than a decade and runs a well-organized courtroom. He expects attorneys to know the case and the rules. If you are appearing for the first time in Part 33, read the Part Rules carefully before you walk in. The court does not tolerate non-compliant communications, and calendar defaults are handled strictly. Come to every appearance prepared to discuss the case status, discovery, and pending motions.
Tips
- "Read the Part Rules." This is a courtroom where non-compliant communications are disregarded. Know the email protocol: include the index number and caption in the subject line, copy all parties, and do not copy the judge directly. This attention to detail matters.
- "Virtual motion option." The last Wednesday of each month offers a virtual motion calendar if all parties agree in advance. If you can get all parties' consent and submit a stipulation 3 days before, you save a trip to Brooklyn. But if one party objects, you must appear in person.
- "Statement of Material Facts is required." On summary judgment motions, you must include a Statement of Material Facts. Failure to include one is grounds for denial. Judge Green enforces this rule consistently.
- "No sur-replies." The court will not accept or consider a sur-reply affidavit, affirmation, or letter without leave of court. If opposing counsel files one without permission, object. Judge Green does not permit unauthorized sur-replies.
- "Expert affirmations go to chambers." When filing summary judgment papers, email unredacted expert affirmations to chambers upon filing. This is mandatory and separate from the NYSCEF filing. Do not omit this step.
- "Know the discovery posture." Judge Green will ask about discovery status, what has been exchanged, and what remains outstanding. Do not show up unprepared or vague about the case. If you are covering for the regular attorney, be thoroughly briefed on discovery, pending motions, and any outstanding issues.
- "Be punctual." All parties must be present and ready by 9:30 AM. Do not be late. If you are covering a matter and will be representing a party, confirm with the office that you are prepared and that the client and any witnesses will be present.
