New York State Court

The New York State Court System is a structured judiciary that interprets and applies laws within New York State. It includes various levels such as trial courts (State Supreme Court and lower courts like Criminal and Civil Courts) where cases are initially heard, and appellate courts (Appellate Division and Court of Appeals) that review decisions for legal correctness. The system handles criminal, civil, family, and administrative cases, ensuring justice, legal resolution, and the protection of rights. Judges oversee these courts, applying state laws to resolve disputes fairly and consistently.
