Ithaca Watkins Glen DWI lawyer: What is a 20 Day Order in a New York DWI case?

What is a "20 Day Order" 
in a New York DWI case?



In this video, Attorney Larry Newman explains the definition of a 20 day Stay (aka 20 day order, or 20 day rule) in a New York DWI case. 

The 20 day order is a judicial order from a Judge at the conclusion of a DWI case in New York that grants full driving privileges for 20 days.  The reason behind the order is so a Defendant can change over their "Pre-Conviction Conditional License" to a "Post-Revocation Conditional License" at the DMV --and their driving won't be interrupted.   This is to make sure people can continue to drive to and from work.  It is an important part of the law that people be allowed to drive to their jobs.
