Trial courts of _________ jurisdiction handle only misdemeanors and lawsuits involving small amounts of money.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Limited jurisdiction courts are lower courts that handle only specific types of cases such as misdemeanors and civil cases with small amounts of money at stake. General jurisdiction courts, on the other hand, have authority to hear a wider range of cases including serious felonies, and appellate courts hear cases on appeal from lower courts. Specific jurisdiction courts do not exist as a separate category of courts.
