Confusing fact of the day: Trump's trial today was in NY County Supreme Court. Unlike in the federal system and most other states, in NY state the main trial court for most large civil cases and felonies is called a "Supreme Court". Each county has one. ("NY County" is Manhattan). The final appellate court of last resort in NY state is called the "Court of Appeals" (the NY State equivalent of the US Supreme Court).
Yes, this is confusing.
