*The intermediate appellate division court was called the General Term of the Supreme Court until 1896. In 1896, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court was created along with the current reporter for that court. Interestingly, the only reporter prior to 1868 was an unofficial reporter put out by Barbour.
