Circuit Courts

Circuit Courts are state trial courts in the United States that handle a range of cases, including civil and criminal matters. They act as the primary court for serious offenses and larger civil disputes, often serving multiple counties in a judicial district. Circuit Courts have the authority to conduct trials, make legal rulings, and hear appeals from lower courts. Their decisions can be further appealed to higher courts, such as state supreme courts. Circuit Courts play a crucial role in the judicial system, ensuring that justice is administered at a local level.
