Overview
This series consists of records of proceedings brought before the
Warren County (N.Y.) Court and Supreme Cou pertaining to the acquisition
of private property for purposes of highway development and improvement
in Warren County. The records include petitions, complaints, affidavits,
correspondence, exhibit material (in the form of maps a photographs),
orders, final judgments, and notices of appeal with all court and
filing date information stamped on the records. Information about
the physical details of the land and its use also may be found in
these records. In 1993, th Warren County Clerk's Office began an aggressive
microfilming program, which saw the conversion to microfilm all civil
action case files created beginning in 1917 (starting with case no.
1 and continuing). The official copy of recor for all civil actions
ca. 1917-present is the microfilm format. This series, designated
as "Civil Actions - Highway," also consists of the paper copy of highway-related
actions. The paper documents have been retaine to enhance historical
research. The online index (http://www.co.warren.ny.us/Records/CIVACTHIGHWAY.html)
is intellectually arranged alphabetically by geographic location or
site name. The index contains most if not all of the following information:
geographic location or site name (highway, road, or bridge); format
of the records (maps, photo etc.); date; location information; record
series name (always Civil Actions - Highway); and department (always
the County Clerk).
Biographical Sketch
The County Court has jurisdiction of more serious criminal matters
and civil actions. New York State County Courts, located in each county
outside New York City, handle felony criminal cases, guardianships,
mental health applications, certain real estate matters, and civil
cases that involve amounts of up to $25,000.00 in value. Both civil
and criminal jury trials are held for County Court matters. The County
Court also hears appeals of town court and city court decisions related
to both criminal and civil matters, including small claims. (Source:
