## Distinctives

### CPLR 3408 foreclosure volume

Queens has high residential-foreclosure filing volume,
processed through a dedicated Foreclosure Settlement
Conference Part under CPLR 3408. Pro se homeowners commonly
appear; the conference parts run a structured triage where
default-judgment dismissals are routinely vacated on a
homeowner request under the now-codified due-diligence
requirements.

### Diversity of business and consumer practice

Queens is the most ethnically diverse U.S. county, which
manifests in civil practice as: significant immigration-
adjacent civil matters (defamation, employment, business),
substantial consumer-debt defense volume, and translator-
availability scheduling complexity. The court's Pro Se
Office offers language-line support.

### IAS Part assignment

After RJI, the case routes to an IAS Part under 22 NYCRR
§ 202.3. Queens County Part Rules:
