Circuit Court System

The Circuit Court System is a network of regional courts that handle serious legal matters such as criminal cases, civil disputes, family law, and appeals. These courts serve as the primary courts of original jurisdiction in their areas, hearing cases with significant legal or monetary issues. They are often the first level of court where trial proceedings occur, and their decisions can often be appealed to higher courts. The system ensures that legal disputes are fairly and efficiently resolved within specific geographic regions, providing access to justice for residents and maintaining the rule of law.
