Introduction
The New York State Supreme Court Civil Branch is an important component of the New York State judicial system, responsible for hearing major civil cases within New York City. The court is located at 60 Centre Street in Midtown Manhattan in the New York State Courthouse, a magnificent neoclassical building built in 1927 and designed by architect Guy Warner. Six colossal Corinthian columns support the solemn portico, and the rotunda is decorated with exquisite law-themed murals, making it an important judicial architectural landmark in New York City. The Civil Branch primarily has jurisdiction over major civil cases involving large-sum contract disputes, property disputes, personal injury claims, and commercial litigation, and is a judicial venue closely watched by New York's business and legal communities. The courthouse contains dozens of courtrooms handling numerous cases daily. Outside of session hours, the historic halls and some courtrooms are open to public viewing.
