Night Court: More Than Just a TV Show
Yes, Virginia, there is a Night Court. And it's not nearly as glamorous as the one with the wacky judge and the even wackier cast of characters. The real-life version is a bit more... serious. But hey, drama is drama, right?
New York City's Criminal Court actually holds sessions from 5 PM to 1 AM. Yep, you read that right. When the rest of the city is winding down, these folks are just getting started. It's like a real-life episode of Law & Order without the fancy camera angles and dramatic music.
Why So Late?
You might be wondering why anyone would want to go to court in the middle of the night. Well, it's mostly for practical reasons. People get arrested at all hours, and the law says they need to be arraigned within 24 hours. Plus, it's a good way to clear the backlog of cases.
