Litigation Support and Court Resources

New York Litigation Support Services & Court Resources

In New York, the Supreme Court is the state’s court of general jurisdiction for trials, handling civil cases and felonies. Outside New York City are County Courts and City Courts that oversee civil and criminal cases, as well as Town and Village Courts with jurisdiction over civil and criminal matters. Additionally, District Courts in Nassau County and the five western towns of Suffolk County have jurisdiction over a range of criminal and civil matters.

Navigating those proceedings — including those in New York City Civil and Criminal Courts — requires close attention to court-specific requirements. This resource page unifies that information in one place.

Here, you’ll find essential guidance for service of process, dispute management, and appellate services — all supported by Proceed — along with links to local court rules, locations, and more.

Use this single resource to move matters forward with clarity and precision, when certainty of outcome matters most.
