Calendar
Part 84 holds its motion calendar every Wednesday except court holidays, in Courtroom 969 at 360 Adams Street. There are two calls of the calendar. The first call begins promptly at 9:45 AM and the second call begins promptly at 10:30 AM. Judge Wade is on the bench for both calls.
Motion Practice
All motions require an in-person appearance and oral argument, and the published rules state that requests for virtual appearances on motions will not be entertained. The attorney who appears must be fully familiar with the case and with the motion. Applications are addressed after the calendar call, and the parties must be ready to proceed if the application is denied. If you have to leave for another part, tell the Part Clerk where you are going and leave a cell phone number before you go.
Adjournments
All adjournment requests must be made in writing at least 48 hours before the return date and emailed to the Part Clerk. A first request on a motion is generally granted if it is reasonable. Any later request requires an application to the court for good cause unless it is on consent, and a request on consent requires a stipulation with a proposed return date emailed to the Part Clerk.
Conferences
The part resumed in-person appearances on January 2, 2023, but the published rules keep three categories virtual: infant compromise hearings, status conferences, and settlement conferences.
Defaults
Under Uniform Rule 202.27, the court may dismiss an action or enter judgment when a party fails to appear for a conference or hearing, and may mark a motion off when the movant fails to appear on the return date. A supported motion is likely to be granted when the non-moving party fails to appear.

What to Expect
Judge Wade expects attorneys to be ready for substantive oral argument on motion day. This is not a part where you can show up, hand in papers, and walk out. If you have a motion on the calendar, be prepared to discuss it. The first call moves through matters that are on consent or uncontested, and the second call is for argued motions.
Tips
- Oral argument is real here. Do not send someone who cannot argue the motion. Judge Wade asks questions and expects responsive answers on the law.
- First call is for consent matters. If your matter is on consent or a simple adjournment, get there for the 9:45 first call and you can be out quickly.
- Second call is where it gets substantive. Contested motions go to the 10:30 second call. Prepare accordingly.
- Know the opposition papers. Judge Wade will reference specific arguments from the opposition. Read their papers carefully before you walk in.
- Judge may not always be available. We have experienced calendar days in Part 84 where Judge Wade was not in and all matters were adjourned. If you are traveling from outside Kings County, consider confirming with the Part Clerk the morning of your appearance that the calendar is proceeding.
