The Town of Schodack Justice Court is located in the Schodack Town Hall in Castleton. Directions to the Court may be found on their website, or you can click our map link. Court gets a bit crowded but the judges remain pleasant.<br>Some may be surprised, but Schodack is the busiest town or village court in Rensselaer County. Must be all the I-90 speeding tickets.

The name Schodack is a corruption of the Indian name Esquatak, which means "the fireplace of the nation," because the council-seat of the Mohican Indians was located here. The Dutch settled here in 1609, shortly after Henry Hudson discovered the area. The Town of Schodack incorporates the villages and hamlets of Braeside, Brookview, Castleton, E.Schodack, Muitzes Kill, Nassau Lake, Schodack Ctr, Stony Point, Schodack Island, Morey Park, Rice Corners, Rosecrans Park, Shivers Corners, S.Schodack, Van Hoesen Station, Masten's Corners,Schodack Depot,Schodack Landing. The beautiful Schodack Island State Park is located within its limits along the Hudson River.

There are two Town Justices: the Honorable Paul W. Peter and the Honorable Bruce J. Wagner. Both are excellent.

The Rensselaer County DA prosecutes the cases. A town prosecutor has been handling traffic cases lately.

Traffic, criminal, civil, environmental conservation, local law and small claims. Plenty of speeding tickets from I-90 and the Berkshire Spur.
