Brooklyn court locations
Brooklyn Criminal Court (Arraignment & Most Misdemeanors):
120 Schermerhorn Street, Brooklyn, NY. This is where Central Booking feeds into and where most initial appearances happen. It’s a busy courthouse that handles a high volume of cases.
Kings County Supreme Court (Felonies):
After arraignment in Criminal Court, serious felony cases often move here for grand jury proceedings, indictments, and trials. The building is nearby in downtown Brooklyn.
Central Booking Location: Brooklyn has its own dedicated Central Booking at or connected to the Criminal Court. You’ll be held there while the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office (Kings County DA) prepares the complaint and your rap sheet is processed.
Jail/Holding: If you’re not released at arraignment, you may be sent to the Brooklyn House of Detention (275 Atlantic Avenue) or eventually to facilities tied to the borough-based jail plan (Brooklyn’s new jail is under construction and expected around 2029).
