Talk:New York Supreme Court

message: Thanks for fixing my NYC-centrism (my father used to work in the city courts, so that's what I know best). Vicki Rosenzweig 02:09 12 Jul 2003 (UTC)
NYC is what I know best too, but I try hard not to offend the people from the rest of the state. Cjmnyc 17:16 12 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Possible suggestions for new content:
* Structural reform proposals for the New York State trial courts (or does that go in a new page for New York Unified Court System?);
* The history of the court;
* The longrunning but supposedly "temporary" system of unelected "acting Supreme Court justices";
* Add a page for the Appellate Division;
* Add a cross reference to something about the relationship between federal and state courts.
Anyone?

I'd like to see an explaination of why NY uses the term "Supreme Court" whereas the rest of the country uses "Superior Court".  Branciforte3241 20:26, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, It does make a certain sense. The supreme court is the highest court of general juridsidiction so it is "supreme" in that sense. The appellate divisions and the court of appeals are higher in the sense that they can review decisions of the supreme court on appeal, but they are not courts of general jurisdiction. As for the reason for the discrepancy, let me see if I can find something out through Lexis.--Fuhghettaboutit 21:07, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

message: the reference to the Appellate Division is not entirely accurate.  unless there is a conflict between or among the four departments, the decision of one department is binding on all lower courts of New York State. Streamless 20:04, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: no, that's right--one department's decision isn't bound by another department.  one department's decision is binding on all lower courts until the departments disagree.  if you type in "administrative convenience" and "appellate division" in a new york state case law database in westlaw or lexis, you'll find the case that states this.

message: The article says, that "There is a supreme court in each of New York State's 62 counties". This only means, that the New York Supreme Court runs 62 sections/branches/offices in the State of New York, but there are not 62 separate courts, right? Henning Blatt (talk) 18:23, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
