§ 88. Designation by presiding justice of appellate division of
justice to hold term of supreme court. If it appear to the satisfaction
of the presiding justice of the appellate division in any department
that a special or trial term of the supreme court duly appointed therein
is in danger of failing, he may designate a justice who resides in that
department to hold such term in the absence of the justice assigned
thereto. If in the opinion of such presiding justice it is not
practicable to make a designation from his department, he shall so
inform the governor who may thereupon designate for such term a justice
from any department.
