Introduction
The Civil Term, Bronx Supreme Court, handles civil cases over $50,000.
The majority of the cases involve medical malpractice, labor laws, motor vehicle cases and other torts (civil cases designed to provide relief to persons who have been harmed due to the wrongful act of others).
"The New York State Court System provides essential justice services to the people of the State of New York. While we continue to remain open all nonessential functions of the courts will be postponed. All essential functions of the courts remain available to ensure that New Yorkers may access the justice system during this extremely challenging time."

Welcome to the Bronx County Supreme Court – Civil Term.
As Administrative Judge, I am responsible for overseeing all non-criminal matters in Bronx Supreme Court. There are approximately twenty-nine judges assigned to Civil Term, who are each responsible for an inventory of civil cases. Collectively, we are working diligently to ensure that all litigants have access to Justice. As the City begins to resume “in person” operations, we have made every effort to make our web page more user-friendly. To best assist you, we have also provided contact numbers for the prominent departments within Supreme Court. Our Help Center is also available to assist you at 718-618-1350.
We hope this web page provides you with the guidance you need in navigating our Court.
