Alabama Court System

Alabama's court system is organized into trial courts and appellate courts. Trial courts, including District and Circuit Courts, handle cases like criminal offenses, civil disputes, family matters, and probate issues. The Circuit Courts are the main courts for serious criminal and civil cases. Appellate courts, primarily the Court of Civil Appeals, Court of Criminal Appeals, and the Alabama Supreme Court, review decisions from lower courts to ensure the laws are correctly applied. The system aims to ensure justice, proper legal procedures, and the consistent interpretation of laws across the state.
