New York City Courts (Civil, Criminal)
The New York City court system consists of civil, criminal, and family courts. All have a presence in each borough and have city-wide jurisdiction. New York City courts have jurisdiction in the five counties that are coterminous with the five boroughs, but in practice most cases are handled in their own county/borough. Unlike the rest of New York State, New York City does not have typical County Courts.

“But O, young beauty of the woods,
Whom Nature courts with fruits and flowers,
Gather the flowers, but spare the buds;
Lest Flora, angry at thy crime
To kill her infants in their prime,
Do quickly make the example yours;
And ere we see,
Nip in the blossom all our hopes and thee.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
