ABOUT RIPLEY COURT
There are a sizable number of speeding tickets issued within
the jurisdictional boundaries of Ripley Town Court. This is due in part to the numerous police agencies that
have the jurisdictional power to issue traffic summons in this town as well as

State Thruway. The
court has the power to adjudicate civil matters such as landlord tenant cases,
zoning code violations, and monetary disputes. The court’s jurisdiction is not unlimited. There are many courts of higher
jurisdiction such as the County Court, Supreme Court, and Appellate Court. In general, the civil matters heard in
Ripley would be commonly referred to as small claims cases. With respect to traffic cases, the
court has the power to preside over all Vehicle Traffic Law cases except felony
