The Court for the Trial of Impeachments, and the Correction of Errors was established by the New York State Constitution of 1777.
It had two distinct jurisdictions: the trial of State officers who had been impeached by the New York State Assembly, and it served as a court of last resort in which decisions of either the New York Supreme Court or the Chancellor could be reversed.
Hiram Denio published the records of the cases which were tried in the Court for the Correction of Errors from 1830 to 1847.
Since 1847, it consists of the Lieutenant Governor, the Chief Judge of the New York Court of Appeals, the associate judges of the Court of Appeals, and the members of the State Senate.
Any member of this court who has been impeached and is on trial himself, is temporarily excluded from it.
