Court of Appeals of New York
The Court of Appeals of New York is the name of the highest court in the state of New York. While most states refer to their highest court simply as the Supreme Court of the state, New York has differed even since the time of its establishment as a colony, nearly four-hundred years ago.
The Court of Appeals of New York has seven Judges (not justices), including a Chief Judge and six Associates, appointed by the Governor, then retained by popular vote for 14-year terms.
Many of the nation's most influential judges have served on this court, including Rufus Wheeler Peckham, Jr., Benjamin Cardozo, and Stanley Fuld.
