2006 New York Code - Jurisdiction of supreme court; new classes of actions.

 
    §  7. a. The supreme court shall have general original jurisdiction in
  law and equity and the appellate jurisdiction herein  provided.  In  the
  city  of  New  York,  it  shall  have exclusive jurisdiction over crimes
  prosecuted by indictment, provided, however, that  the  legislature  may
  grant to the city-wide court of criminal jurisdiction of the city of New
  York  jurisdiction over misdemeanors prosecuted by indictment and to the
  family court in the city  of  New  York  jurisdiction  over  crimes  and
  offenses  by  or against minors or between spouses or between parent and
  child or between members of the same family or household.
    b. If  the  legislature  shall  create  new  classes  of  actions  and
  proceedings, the supreme court shall have jurisdiction over such classes
  of actions and proceedings, but the legislature may provide that another
  court  or other courts shall also have jurisdiction and that actions and
  proceedings of such classes may be originated in  such  other  court  or
  courts.
