New York State Unified Court System

Overview

The New York State Unified Court System is the judicial branch of the Government of New York, dedicated to administering justice through a comprehensive court structure. It operates under the authority of the State Constitution and is managed by a central administrator under the Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals.

The court system is organized into three levels: Appellate Courts, which review appeals and establish legal principles; Trial Courts of Superior Jurisdiction, including the Supreme Court and specialized courts like Family Court; and Trial Courts of Inferior Jurisdiction, which handle less serious offenses. The system provides a wide range of judicial services including the adjudication of civil and criminal cases, family law matters, probate and estate administration, and traffic violations. It serves the general public, legal professionals, government agencies, jurors, and law enforcement, playing a vital role in ensuring the rule of law and protecting constitutional rights across New York State.
