New York City's county clerks play a significant role in the legal framework of the state, acting as custodians of Supreme Court records and administrators of judicial documents. Each of the five boroughs has its own clerk, overseeing case initiation and documentation essential for the justice system. Notable responsibilities include filing commencement papers and recording final case decisions. Unlike clerks outside the city, Brooklyn's Nancy Sunshine outlines their unique roles, which include duties specific to local civil and legal matters. Their work facilitates essential processes that keep the court system functioning effectively.
"The offices of the County Clerks are crucial to the function of New York's court system, serving as custodians of Supreme Court records and facilitating legal processes."
"You can go and have a jury find in your favor... You'll never see a dime of it until the county clerk enters the judgment," says New York County Clerk Milton Tingling.
