eCourts NY is the main online system that lets the public see case information and use various online services (like WebCivil, WebCriminal, eTrack). NYSCEF (New York State Courts Electronic Filing) is a specific part within the larger eCourts system that handles sending legal documents to the court and serving them to others online, mainly for lawyers and parties involved in a case.
You usually file documents through NYSCEF , which is the online filing system connected to the eCourts NY initiative. The "Web" tools (WebCivil, WebCriminal, etc.) are mainly for looking at case information, not for filing new documents.
No, not all court information is available. eCourts NY gives you summaries, lists of events (docket information), and court dates. However, cases that are sealed, some private records, and full, detailed court documents are usually not available to the general public online. You might need to go to the courthouse to get complete records.
