Moreover, Chief Judge Janet DiFiore also issued a statement providing that a limited number of civil/criminal in person jury trials would resume on March 22, 2021, but did not provide specificity as to where. Judge DiFiore explained that while New York is committed to resuming in-person proceedings, it will still be some time before the courts can accommodate pre-pandemic density. Presently, the majority of matters will still be conducted virtually.
