Circuit Court

A Circuit Court is a type of court in the judicial system that typically handles serious criminal cases, civil lawsuits, and appeals from lower courts. It operates within a specific geographic area, or circuit, and aims to provide more comprehensive legal oversight than lower courts. Circuit Courts are often the first level of appeal from district or municipal courts, addressing more complex legal issues and cases that may involve larger amounts of money or significant legal principles. They play a vital role in ensuring justice and upholding the law within their regions.
