How does mediation work in Suffolk County?
Paper files for Suffolk County's Supreme and County Courts are kept by the County Clerk, and anyone wishing to view an unsealed file must go to the Clerk's facility in Riverhead [1]. For cases filed electronically on or after December 15, 2017, the official minutes are held in the state's NYSCEF e-filing system [1]. Misdemeanors and violations are heard in the District Court or local justice courts [1]. Article VI of the State Constitution joins Suffolk with Nassau in the Tenth Judicial District [2]. Federal cases go to the Eastern District of New York, which sits in Central Islip and Hauppauge among other places [3]. All mediators listed below are on the Eastern District's mediation panel [4].
