Where to find NY state court proceedings

Question

I’ve found a 1904 notice in the Plattsburgh Sentinel titled, “Supreme Court. Trial desired in Clinton County”. Any idea where to start?   It almost sounds bigger than the county historian.

Answer 1

You might look at the following website, which talks about hot to get old court records:

https://ww2.nycourts.gov/foil/CourtRecords.shtml#:~:text=Typically%2C%20the%20court%20in%20which,the%20records%20are%20available%20there. 

It sounds like a good first step would be to reach out to the County Clerk of Clinton County.

Also, you probably know this, but, in New York, the Supreme Court is trial court.
