In the path of one more of nature’s little challenges, please note that if you need to contact the Second Circuit, they provide emergency information on the court’s website and remind practitioners that they can get updated information on the operating status of the court by tuning into 1010 WINS on the AM dial and on WCBS (2), WNBC (4), WABC (7) and WNEW (5).
