With multiple locations throughout the city, including separate courthouses in Bronx County and a community courthouse in Harlem, New York City Courts offer accessible and comprehensive legal services, including assistance for self-representation, volunteer lawyer programs, and resources for finding legal assistance. They aim to ensure fair and efficient resolution of cases, while also providing educational resources and support to the community.
