The
Court of Appeals, New York State's highest court, is composed of
a Chief Judge and six Associate Judges, each appointed to a 14-year
term. 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. There is no jurisdictional
limitation based upon the amount of money at stake in a case or
the status or rank of the parties.

| Court
of Appeals Oral Argument Archive |
| The
Court of Appeals has established a new video archive of oral arguments
on its web site, an archive that will contain all cases heard since
the beginning of this year. During future sessions of the Court, arguments
heard each week will be added to the archive on the following Monday.
The
Court has been recording oral arguments and making them available
for public broadcast since 1987, and Albany Law School maintains
an official archive of these recordings at its Government Law Center.
The Court began webcasting arguments in certain high-profile appeals
in 2002 and these recordings remain available through a separate
link on the web site. The Court has provided live webcasts of all
oral arguments since May 2009. The comprehensive webcast archive,
allowing users to view arguments at their convenience, is meant
to further enhance public access to proceedings before the Court.
