The New York City court system consists of civil, criminal, and family courts. All have a presence in each borough and have city-wide jurisdiction. Unlike the rest of New York State, New York City does not have typical County Courts. Instead, New York City courts have jurisdiction in the five counties that are coterminuous with the five boroughs.
