- Some General
Instructions COURT--the
times given on this page are for the regular sessions of the Court. At
such regular sessions the Court will begin criminal cases with a short
"arraignment" proceeding and schedule other matters. - General Information
on Local Courts 1) For civil actions (two people suing
each other), the Court which will hear the case depends on the dollar amount
sought by the parties. Cases up
to $3,000 are heard in town or village court, cases between $3,000 and
$50,000 are heard in County Court and cases beyond $50,000 are heard in the
New York State Supreme Court (New York’s trial level court). Evictions are generally heard in town
and village court. City
Court is like town and village court and handles many of the same kinds of
actions, but can hear cases with values of up to $10,000. 2) For criminal or traffic actions,
misdemeanors or violations are prosecuted in town or village court. Felonies are prosecuted in the County
Court. 3) Divorces are actions in the Supreme
Court while custody, visitation and support are all actions in the Family Court. 4) Occasionally, you may find that you
know the judge on your case. If
you know a judge, do not try to discuss your case with the judge before appearing
in Court – not only do rules governing judicial behavior frown on such
discussions, but judges do not like being “put on the spot” any more than you
do! 5) Please note that local County, Family, Surrogate
and Supreme Courts are not listed as these courts prefer to work with the
public through their attorneys unless you are proceeding without a
lawyer. If there is a need to advise those courts of a delay in your
appearance or inability to appear, you can find their telephone numbers in
the telephone directory under “Tompkins County”, “Cortland County” or “Cayuga
County.” - Tompkins County Courts (listed clockwise
