In New York City, the Supreme Court exercises both civil and criminal jurisdiction. Outside New York City, the Supreme Court exercises civil jurisdiction, while County Courts generally handles criminal matters.” – http://www.courts.state.ny.us/courts/trialcourts.shtml. The United States District Court hear cases involving federal and constitutional questions or between citizens of different states.
