If you have a disability and need a reasonable accommodation to take part in a court proceeding, the New York State Unified Court System can provide one.
Please submit your request at least 5 business days before your court date, if possible. Reasonable accommodations are provided at no cost.
This Form is part of a pilot program and at present can only be used in the following locations:
- All NYC trial courts (Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens, and Richmond)
- Monroe County (all courts, except Town and Village Courts)
- Nassau County (all courts, except Town and Village Courts)
- Suffolk County (all courts, except Town and Village Courts)
For courts in other locations, please visit http://ww2.nycourts.gov/accessibility/byCounty.shtml to find out how to request an accommodation.
This Form is not intended to be used to make blanket requests for remote appearances by phone or video. Attorneys wishing to request remote appearances as an accommodation -- either in more than one case before the same judge, or in cases before more than one judge -- are advised to use other means to contact the judge or judges before whom their cases are pending. Please do not submit this form to request blanket accommodations.
To the extent possible, we will keep your request - and any information submitted in support - confidential. All material will be reviewed by court personnel only as needed to determine whether your request can be granted.
For more information, please see Accommodations FAQ.
If you still have questions, or need help filling out this form, please contact the Office of the Statewide ADA Coordinator at ADARequest@nycourts.gov or call (212) 428-2760 or TTY:711.
