Circuit Court of Ireland

The Circuit Court of Ireland is a main part of the country's judicial system, handling a wide range of civil and criminal matters. It deals with civil cases involving moderate amounts of money, family law issues like divorce and child custody, and criminal cases such as theft and assault. The court also hears appeals from district courts. It is a court of general jurisdiction, meaning it can manage many different types of cases, and is an important step before cases can proceed to higher courts like the High Court.
