The New York State Court of Claims is often a below-the-radar court in the state court system. \n\nIt rarely makes news. Its jurisdiction is limited to civil cases against the state and some of its entities. There are no jurors, so each case is decided by a judge. And since the judges are all appointed by the Governor, they never interact with the public in the way that judges campaigning for public office do.\n\nIn a new Amici podcast, Acting Presiding Judge Richard E. Sise and Court of Claims Judges Catherine Leahy-Scott and Ram\xf3n Rivera demystify the court, explaining why it exists, what it does and how it does it. \n\nTranscript: https://ww2.nycourts.gov/sites/default/files/document/files/2024-03/Court%20of%20Claims%20final.pdf
