Appeal

Court Cases

Court cases are appeals within the court of the decision.   Superior Court is responsible for handling cases involving serious crimes (felonies), civil disputes, real estate matters and family and domestic relations issues.  State Court handles civil law actions not otherwise within the jurisdiction of Superior Court, dispossessions, misdemeanors, and certain traffic offenses.  Magistrate Court (Civil Division) hears cases involving civil claims of $15,000 or less.  Probate Court has exclusive jurisdiction in probate of wills, administration of estates, appointment of guardians, involuntary hospitalizations, issuance of pistol licenses and marriage licenses.   Residents are encouraged to work with an attorney in filing an appeal within the appropriate court.   Here is a Guide to Filing An Appeal in Court
