New York State Court Officers Practice Exam

What are the 2 levels of criminal courts?

1. County Courts and Supreme Courts

2. Local Criminal Courts and Federal Courts

3. Superior Courts and Municipal Courts

4. Superior Courts and Local Criminal Courts

The correct answer is: Superior Courts and Local Criminal Courts

Superior Courts and Local Criminal Courts are the two levels of criminal courts. County Courts and Supreme Courts (A), Superior Courts and Municipal Courts (C) are incorrect as they do not include Local Criminal Courts as one of the two levels. Additionally, Municipal Courts are not considered a level of criminal courts, but deal with municipal ordinance violations. Local Criminal Courts and Federal Courts (B) are incorrect as Federal Courts are not involved with criminal cases, but rather handle cases involving federal laws and cases between states or individuals from different states. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
