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.
