Supreme Court – County of Queens

Come one and all to the place where justice crawls, judges are lazy and favors are handed out to the regular plaintiff’s attorneys.
Good luck finding courtesy here. You’re better off settling your case with a shoot out at sun down.

This is the Supreme Court in Long Island City. It seems to have a reputation of difficulty if you are an attorney going here. God help you if you’re appearing as a per diem attorney & you have never been here.
First off, it’s not the easiest building to find. It’s BEHIND the Citibank building. Second, finding the ladies room is a pain in the behind. The court security was friendly enough but to find the courtroom you have to be at, you have to actually go to the clerk’s office. They don’t post a board or have their security person instantly ask you where you’re going as it is in other courthouses I’ve been to. I felt like I was entering some small town courthouse; it definitely has that feel to it.
Then at the proceeding I was at, the judge’s interns wanted us to do something that neither party was interested in and that as a per diem attorney, came out of left field. We also could have had our matter resolved before the calling of lunch but it wasn’t & I had a prior engagement to deal with. That was extremely annoying. Also, is there actually ANYTHING in the way of good food to eat around here? Where would the attorneys going here often hang out for lunch? My ex worked in this area at one time & I remember that being an issue for him.
