I. Principal Appellate Courts
A. Court of Appeals: NY Const, art VI,§ 3 - answer The Court of
Appeals is the highest court in the court system. It has no original
jurisdiction and exercises only appellate jurisdiction in criminal
cases and in civil cases without regard to the
amount in controversy. Its jurisdiction is generally limited to
questions of law.
I. Principal Appellate Courts
B. Appellate Division of Supreme Court - First, Second, Third and
Fourth Judicial Departments (See Appendices A, B): NY Const, art VI,
§ 4 - answer The Appellate Division is a single statewide appellate
court, divided into four judicial departments, and is the principal
intermediate appeals court for both criminal and civil cases.
Pursuant to the doctrine of stare decisis, trial courts in a given
department are required to follow precedent set by the Appellate
Division for another department until the Court of Appeals or the
Appellate Division for the department in which the trial court sits
pronounces a contrary rule.
Each department of the Appellate Division should accept the
decisions of its sister departments as persuasive authority but is
free to reach a contrary result (Mountain View Coach Lines, Inc. v
Storms, I 02 AD2d 663 [2d Dept 1984]).

Judicial Department (consisting of two counties within New York
City) and Second Judicial Department (consisting of three counties
within New York City and seven other counties)
(See Appendix A). The Appellate Terms of both the First and Second
Departments hear appeals from the Civil Court of New York City, and
the Appellate Term of the Second Department also hears appeals
from district, county, city, town, and
village courts.
II. Principal Trial Courts

NY3d 213 (2010) - answer Supreme Court has general original
jurisdiction of all cases in law and equity without monetary
limitation unless its jurisdiction has been specifically proscribed. In
some cases its
jurisdiction is concurrent with that of other courts. It has exclusive
subject matter jurisdiction over matrimonial actions and wrongful
death claims.
The Commercial Division of Supreme Court handles claims meeting a
minimum monetary threshold and involving a multitude of
commercial disputes (22 NYC RR 202. 70 [ a], [b ]). Shortly after
commencement of an action, any party may seek assignment of its
case to the Commercial Division, and upon transfer the parties are
subject to the specific rules of practice for the Commercial Division
(See 22 NYC RR 202. 70 [g]). The rules address, among other
matters, electronic submission and form of papers, attorney
appearances, limitations on discovery,
discovery of electronically stored information, adherence to
discovery schedules, discovery
disputes, motions, and trials.
