About Kings County Supreme Court, Civil Term

The Kings County Supreme Court, Civil Term is a division of the Supreme Court of New York State, the general trial court for the 2nd Judicial District, located in Brooklyn.

Its administration is led by an Administrative Judge for Civil Matters for the 2nd Judicial District, with a Chief Clerk overseeing civil matters. Judges preside over individually numbered parts, each with published part rules. A Help Center on the premises assists litigants who have chosen not to be represented or have not retained counsel, and the court states it cannot recommend a particular attorney or firm.
