Trial courts - ✔️✔️Where most cases get started in the state court system. Differ from
courts of limited jurisdiction in 2 important ways:
-No limit to what they can hear
-Is a court of record.
Typically every county in each state has one of these courts, and may be called circuit,
county or superior courts. May have criminal vs. civil distinctions however.
In Personam - ✔️✔️Against a person. A legal proceeding instituted to obtain decrees
or judgments against a defendant, either a person or company. This happens when the
defendant is a resident or citizen of a state, if the defendant consents to jurisdiction, if
the defendant is served with the complaint in the state in which the plaintiff wants to
sue, or under the long-arm statute.
One of the two added ways a court must have to have jurisdiction.
Courts of limited jurisdiction - ✔️✔️The lowest-level court in a state's judicial system
that only hears particular kinds of cases involving small claims, traffic violations, and
probate cases.
Small Claims Court - ✔️✔️A special court in which parties can litigate small monetary
disputes without an attorney. Transcript isn't made, and appeals are made to trials court
as if it is a do-over.
Appeals Court - ✔️✔️A court that reviews decisions made in lower district courts.
Generally only decide legal questions. Some states only have one level of this type,
others have 2. Final level in the state is usually called the State Supreme Court.
There is NO NEW EVIDENCE presented, just a review to see if the decision in the trial
court was correct.
Jurisdiction and venue - ✔️✔️In order for a court to hear a case, they need these two
things.
Venue - ✔️✔️A requirement distinct from jurisdiction that the court be geographically
situated so that it is the most appropriate and convenient court to try the case for the
defendant. We tend to favor them as they are the one being sued, and balance out the
hardship for convenience.
Jurisdiction - ✔️✔️A court's authority to hear and issues decisions on cases
