The judiciary of New York (officially the New York State Unified Court System) is a branch of the Government of New York that interprets and applies the law of New York, ensures equal justice under law, and provides a mechanism for dispute resolution. The judiciary is based in Albany. The Court of Appeals is the highest court, below which the County Court (or the Supreme Court in New York City) is the primary felony trial court. The Supreme Court also acts as the intermediate appellate court for many cases, and the local courts handle a variety of other matters and are the starting point for all criminal cases. The New York City courts make up the largest local court system. The system is administered by the Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, also known as the Chief Judge of New York, the Chief Administrative Judge, the Administrative Board of the Courts and numerous other agencies. ==Courts== In general, the judicial system is composed of the trial courts, consisting of the superior courts and the local courts, and the appellate courts.
