For the civil courts at least, it's by "Department."

New York County (Manhattan) and Da Bronecks are the First Department.
Westchester is the Ninth Department, I think. As you go upstate the
number of counties in each Department increases. The rulings in the
Supreme Court (as Phil said it's a district-level trial court in NYS)
of the First Department are considered more ugh gilded with
competency, but just informally.
