NY's state court system is similar to other states. There are trial courts of limited jurisdiction (town and village courts, family court, probate court); trial courts of general jurisdiction (county courts and county supreme courts); intermediate appellate courts (supreme court appellate division); and the highest court (court of appeals). Which court would have jurisdiction of each of the following cases?

a. Kaylee gets a speeding ticket while driving on Bridge Street on her way to McDonald's.

b. Jan has been convicted of fraud after a jury trial in county court and she seeks to appeal her conviction.

c. Larry has been injured in a car accident in Rochester and wants to file a lawsuit against the other driver for damages.

d. Tory and her partner want to adopt a child.

e. Sam's landlord wrongfully refuses to return his security deposit of $1200 at the end of the lease term and Sam wants to collect his money
