COUNTY CLERK'S ROOM 141B (LAW AND EQUITY) HAS MOVED TEMPORARILY TO ROOM 300 AT 60 CENTRE ST.

Welcome to the web site of the Civil Branch of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County. Our court is the highest trial court for civil cases in the state court system in New York County.  The court traces its origins to the year 1691 and is the oldest continuously-serving court of general jurisdiction in the United States.  We have designed this web site to provide useful information about our court to the public, actual or prospective jurors, and attorneys. We hope that this site will contribute to making our court and the judicial system of this State more comprehensible and accessible to all.

For information about our court of interest to the general public, consult the "General Information" section.  If you have questions about how to proceed in a case in our court without an attorney, consult "Representing Yourself." For information about all aspects of jury service, see "Juror Information." The other sections of our site contain information which will be of particular interest to attorneys. We hope you find this site helpful. 

We are eager for comments about and suggestions for improvements of this site; please send them to: Web Comments, Room 359M, 60 Centre St., N.Y., N.Y. 10007 or send them via e-mail.
