Senate and Assembly Judiciary Committee Chairs Brad Hoylman and Jeffrey Dinowitz will take testimony to examine the most recent proposal made by the Chief Judge of the State of New York to consolidate New York’s trial courts. This is the first of two hearings on this topic.

New York’s court system consists of eleven different trial courts. Under the Chief Judge’s consolidation proposal, the court system would have a two-part structure. One part would be a new Supreme Court consisting of the current Supreme Court, County Court, Family Court, Surrogate’s Court and the Court of Claims. The second part would be a new Municipal Court, consisting of the current District Courts on Long Island, the New York City Civil and Criminal Courts, and the City Courts outside of New York City. This proposal would not change the structure of Town and Village Courts.
