N.Y. Uniform Justice Court Act § 107: Records and dockets of court

§ 107. Records and dockets of court.

Each justice shall keep or cause to be kept legible and suitable

books, papers, records and dockets of all civil actions and proceedings

and all criminal actions and proceedings. The rules may prescribe their

form, care, custody and disposition, provided, however, that in any

county or part of a county where the district court system has been duly

adopted, all the dockets of the town justices then on file or required

to be filed, in the office of the town clerk, shall be transferred to

the office of the clerk of the district court and there kept and

maintained in the same manner as other official records of the district

court and responsibility for such records on the part of the town shall

cease.
