Since that time some counties have submitted electronic versions of their local rules. These electronic versions are included in the results from the AOPC Search page and are indicated as "Searchable" in the table. As local rules are adopted by Judicial Districts, the President Judge of the Judicial District sends a copy, usually with a diskette, to the Pennsylvania Bulletin for publication and also to the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts (AOPC). On many rules, the effective date of the rule is thirty (30) days after publication within Local Rules of Civil Procedure in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

Extractions: Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas ... Wyoming For anyone considering legal action, an understanding of how our legal system works is essential. As you may remember from civics class, the U.S. system of government, on both the state and federal levels, is divided into three separate and competing branches: the legislative, executive, and judicial. The legislative branch creates the laws, the executive branch enforces the laws, and the judicial branch interprets the laws. State government maintains control of state and local affairs, while the federal government oversees those areas important to the national interest. Which court system hears your case depends upon three factors: the subject matter of the dispute, the amount of money in controversy, and the location of the parties. To get into federal court, a lawsuit must either involve some issue of federal law, raise a question of constitutional interpretation, or involve parties from different states and more than $50,000. If a lawsuit does not meet one of these criteria, it must be heard in state court.

Extractions: Main Page Find Your Judge Articles Links ... District Court FAQ's The Chief Justice asked the three judges' associations to discuss issues and decide upon what areas they could agree. Each of the three association presidents selected five representatives (MDJA President Runco selected three past presidents along with our V.P. and the Pres. elect). The 15 of us met with a rep from the Supreme Court and a MSU facilitator for three days last week in Lansing. On the first day, it began with a bit of tension and turf protection and bickering, but very quickly everyone's attention proceeded toward a very positive approach to determining how we can best serve the public. The consensus reached was that the "one-size-fits-all" approach dictated from Lansing is not the best and a more modern FLEXIBLE approach where each county's judges would, within limits, structure their local system so that they can best serve the public in an efficient and effective way given their local problems, talents, personnel, buildings, staff, etc. Each county would be asked to establish a Local Judicial Council to design and submit to the Supreme Court a local plan within a structure set by SCAO. A final approved plan would be administered by the Chief Judges, and evaluated and changed periodically. Following is the final written report which will be presented to the Supreme Court: October 14-16, 1998

http://www.alacourt.org/Publications/jurisd-l.htm

Extractions: COURTS OF LIMITED JURISDICTION The Municipal Courts Municipal courts exercise jurisdiction over all prosecutions for violations of municipal ordinances occurring within the city limits and police jurisdiction of the municipality. Additionally, a municipal court may exercise jurisdiction over violations of state law if the state law has been incorporated in the municipality's ordinances. For this purpose, most municipalities have enacted ordinances making state misdemeanor offenses violations of municipal ordinances. The Alabama Constitution provides that a municipal governing body may choose to maintain its local court or transfer jurisdiction to the district court of the county. If the municipality elects to maintain its local court, the municipality must provide funding for necessary facilities and support personnel. The Probate Courts Probate courts are courts of limited jurisdiction. like other constitutionally created courts, they are considered part of the state court system. However, probate courts are funded by the counties and are not included in the state's judicial budget. Probate courts have jurisdiction in each county over all matters dealing with the probate of wills, the administration of estates of those persons dying without a will, determination of the property rights of widows, and adoption proceedings, unless such are removed to the juvenile or district court. Another important duty of the probate court is the recording of all land partitions and sales within the county and the maintenance of indexes showing where and when deeds, mortgages, and other instruments of conveyance are recorded.

http://www.saginawcounty.com/Traffic/overview.htm

Extractions: In 1969 Michigan Law consolidated almost all of the state's Municipal Courts into a co-ordinated system of Districts where full-time judges, elected by the citizens, could serve the local legal needs of their communities as "courts-of- record." There are l00 District Courts in Michigan. Their 265 District Judges handle hundreds of thousands of traffic, criminal, and civil cases annually. JURISDICTION The Court has exclusive jurisdiction of : (1) Jury and non-jury adjudication of all civil litigation up to $25,000.00 (Civil cases are non-criminal disputesthey are all cases where no one is going to jail.) District Courts also may handle cases over $25,000 where a Circuit Judge has decided that the "probable value" is under that amount, but the judge or jury has no limitation in those cases as to what the final judgment amount may be. In many counties, District Judges hear some Circuit Court cases if time allows on the District Court docket and if the Circuit Judge needs assistance. (2) Jury and non-jury trials of all criminal misdemeanors under State law or local ordinances. (that's where punishment may not exceed one year in jail)

http://www.mass.gov/courts/admin/intro.html

Extractions: The Massachusetts Trial Court was created by Chapter 478 of the Acts of 1978. Before that time, all trial courts in the Commonwealth, (except the Land Court that was a state court), were county or local courts funded through the counties. The 1978 statute reorganized the courts into seven Trial Court Departments: the Boston Municipal Court, the District Court, the Housing Court, the Juvenile Court, the Probate and Family Court and the Superior Court, as well as the Land Court. Administrative Justices became responsible for the administration of each court department. After 1978, the judges of all departments received the same salary and benefits from the state and all became state judges. The 1978 statute created a central administrative office managed by a Chief Administrative Justice who was also responsible for the overall management of the Trial Court. The statute charged the central office, now called the Administrative Office of the Trial Court, with developing a wide range of centralized functions and standards for the benefit of the entire Trial Court. Not the least of these was the development of a budget for the Trial Court, central accounting and procurement systems, and personnel policies, procedures and standards for judges and staff who were formerly employed by counties. Over time, the Trial Court became responsible for the management of its facilities, security, libraries, automation and many other matters.
