View source for New York Unified Court System

The '''New York Unified Court System''' consists of all the trial and appellate state courts in [[New York]].<ref>http://www.courts.state.ny.us/</ref>

The trial courts are called the New York [[Supreme Court]]s, contrary to the naming system used in most other states.  The first level of [[appeal]]s, which are [[appeal]]s taken by right rather than permission, are to the New York Appellate Divisions, numbered one through four.  The jurisdiction of each appellate division is separate and independent.<ref>http://www.courts.state.ny.us/courts/appellatebycounty.shtml</ref>

The final appeals, which are by permission, are to the [[New York Court of Appeals]].
