Which Schenectady courthouse do you need?

How do I know which Schenectady County court is handling my case?

Look for the exact court name printed on the ticket, appearance notice, summons, petition, or other court paper. Do not rely only on the arresting agency or the word “Schenectady.” If the court name or location is unclear, call the clerk before the scheduled appearance.

Are Schenectady City Court’s criminal and traffic parts in the same building?

No. The official court directory lists the criminal part at 531 Liberty Street and the civil and traffic parts at City Hall, 105 Jay Street. Check your paperwork and confirm with the clerk.

Where are felony cases heard in Schenectady County?

A felony case may begin with an arraignment or preliminary proceeding in a local court. A felony prosecution that continues by indictment is generally handled in Schenectady County Court at 612 State Street. The location on the current court notice controls.

Should I rely on online court hours?

Use posted hours as a starting point only. Court sessions, clerk-window hours, closures, and assigned locations can change. Call the court or check its official website before traveling.
