New York's justice courts are local courts that hear traffic tickets, criminal matters, small claims and local code violations such as zoning cases. Although they are constitutionally part of the state's unified court system, justice courts are administered not by the New York State Office of Court Administration but by their own local sponsoring towns or villages, which makes them a community based forum distinct from the rest of the state court structure.
