New York State Court Officers Practice Exam

Who makes the decision to evacuate?

1. The Chief Judge or their designee

2. The Court Officer

3. The Jury

4. The Defense Attorney

The correct answer is: The Chief Judge or their designee

The Chief Judge or their designee is responsible for making the decision to evacuate. The other options are incorrect because B: The Court Officer, while responsible for maintaining order and safety in the courtroom, does not have the authority to make major decisions such as evacuation. C: The Jury is not involved in the decision making process for evacuation, as their role is solely to determine guilt or innocence. D: The Defense Attorney also does not have the authority to make the decision to evacuate, as they are not in a position of power within the court.
