Description
The Court of Appeals sits atop the State judicial system. Matters argued before the Court have often been heard by two lower courts (a trial court and the Appellate Division). Except in cases involving a Federal question, where the Supreme Court of the United States, has the last word, the Court of Appeals makes the final statement of decisional law in New York State.

Providing organization
NEW YORK STATE COURT OF APPEALS
New York's highest appellate court was established to articulate statewide principles of law in the context of deciding particular lawsuits. The Court thus generally focuses on broad issues of law as distinguished from individual factual disputes.
