Court for the Trial of Impeachments and Correction of Errors
The Court for the Trial of Impeachments and Correction of Errors was established under the state constitution and served as New York's impeachment court and court of last resort between 1777 and 1847. Its colonial predecessors were the Court of Assizes, 1664-1684; the Court of Chancery, 1683-1691; and the Court of Errors and Appeals, 1691-1783. The last colonial court continued in British-occupied New York until the end of the Revolution. Each colonial court consisted of the Royal Governor and his Council.
