I chatted with a law librarian and basically any NYS law library should be able to help you. Here's mine: ww2.nycourts.gov/library/oswe...
If you contact one out of NY state, you might still access Westlaw and Lexis, which are legal databases, and they might have the information you are looking for.

Delighted to see this piece appear in amazing journal, Flash the Court. This week I was teaching dialogue in class –and I'm afraid I've broken many of my erm... suggestions.
