Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has unlimited, original jurisdiction, but generally hears cases outside the jurisdiction of other courts, such as: Civil matters beyond the monetary limits of the lower courts' jurisdiction; Divorce, separation, and annulment proceedings; Equity suits, such as mortgage foreclosures and injunctions; Criminal prosecution of felonies.

Supreme Court justices are elected by judicial district to 14-year terms. Criminal felony cases are heard in the Supreme Court in New York City and predominantly in the County Courts outside of New York City.
