The Moreau Town Court is located at 351 Reynolds Road in
Moreau New York. Its postal zip
code is 12828. It is located in
Saratoga County and is part of the 4th Judicial District of the
Unified Court System of New York.
This is a full time court and holds regular office hours
Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.
The court employs two town justices. They take turns presiding over cases on
alternating Thursdays and as needed.
They are elected to four year terms and have the power to preside over
small claims matters, landlord tenant cases, criminal misdemeanors, and
non-felony traffic violations.
While the Justices are responsible for the overall
functionality of the court, they receive help in running the day to day
operations with the assistance of their court clerks. Some of the tasks performed by the court clerks include
maintaining court records, sending out letters, and collecting fine money.
While the clerks can answer many questions, they are prohibited
from giving legal advice.
