How to Search New York Court Records (Start Here)
New York court records are filed with the County Clerk (Supreme Court) / City Court Clerk. The Supreme Court (trial level) / County Court / City Court / Family Court handles trial-level cases. New York offers a statewide court search through eCourts / WebCivil, which covers most case types across all counties courts.
What this page covers: New York state court case records — criminal, civil, family, and probate filings. What it does not cover: Federal court cases (those are on PACER) or sealed/juvenile records.
Where to start: Use eCourts / WebCivil for online case search. If you need documents beyond docket information, contact the County Clerk (Supreme Court) / City Court Clerk in the specific county where the case was filed.
Common mistake: eCourts / WebCivil covers state courts only. Federal cases filed in New York (bankruptcy, federal criminal, federal civil) require PACER — a separate federal system.
