return to New York's state list
The New York State Office of Court Administration has submitted statewide case-level data to the Archive dating back to 1977. As of 2003, all 62 Family Courts in New York State were using its new Universal Case Management System (UCMS-FC) to collect and report their data. An extract of files from this system has been submitted to the Archive on an annual basis since that time. The extract has been used to develop a case-level data file, which has been standardized and incorporated into the national estimates.
