No two state court systems are exactly alike. Nevertheless, there are sufficient similarities to provide an example of what a typical state court system looks like. Most state court systems are made up of two sets of trial courts: trial courts of limited jurisdiction (probate, family, traffic, etc.) and trial courts of general jurisdiction; intermediate appellate courts and the highest state courts. Unlike federal judges, most state court judges are not appointed for life but are either elected or appointed for a certain number of years. Trial Courts of Limited Jurisdiction Trial courts of limited jurisdiction are courts that deal with only specific types of cases. They are usually presided over by a single judge. Some examples of trial courts of limited jurisdiction include: 1. Probate court: This court considers cases concerning administration of estates. It sees to it that the provisions of a will are carried out properly or sees to it that a decedent’s property is distributed according to the state law. 2. Family court: This court hears cases concerning adoption, divorce, alimony, child custody etc. 3. Traffic court: This court usually considers minor violations of traffic laws. 4. Juvenile court: This court usually deals with cases involving delinquent, unruly or neglected children and adults who neglect, abuse or contribute to the juvenile delinquency. 5. Small claims court: This court usually resolves suits between private persons of a relatively low dollar amount, for example, less than $5,000. 6. Municipal court: This court usually considers cases involving offenses against city ordinances. Trial Courts of General Jurisdiction Trial courts of general jurisdiction bear the main burden in the administration of justice. They hear cases outside the jurisdiction of the trial courts of limited jurisdiction. These involve both civil and criminal cases. One judge (often sitting with a jury) usually hears them. In such cases, the judge decides issues of law, while the jury decides issues of fact. жүктеу/скачать 3,06 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
