Information About

Court Of Common Pleas




In the United States legal system, there are at least three states which currently have Courts of Common Pleas:

  • , handling Misdemeanor criminal cases; preliminary hearings for Felony criminal cases; and civil cases with a stated value up to $50,000.00. Judges are appointed by the Governor to 12-year terms.


  • . Judges are elected at large.


  • and organized by Judicial District . Most judicial districts are coterminous with the county in which the district is located, but some counties with smaller population share a judicial district (and therefore a court) with one or more other adjacent counties. Judges are elected at large.
