WebCrims NY is a free public court search platform run by the New York State Unified Court System, helping users look up active criminal cases, court appearances, charges, and hearing dates across New York City and selected counties using a name, case number, or summons number.
The court calendar search shows every case scheduled in a specific courtroom (called a "part") on a specific day. Instead of looking up a single defendant, you see the full docket the judge will hear. This feature helps you find out about upcoming court dates for cases.
The case identifier search uses an official number printed on court paperwork — the docket number, indictment number, or summons number — to pull up exactly one case with zero ambiguity. This search method is perfect for finding a specific criminal case if you have its unique ID, like a case number or summons number.
The defendant search lets you look up open criminal cases using a person's name. It is the most common entry point because most users start with a name and nothing else. This method allows you to look up criminal cases using the first and last name of the defendant, or the name of a corporation involved in the case.
