Question

City and county courts have limited jurisdiction on municipal issues. Whose case would a city or county court be most likely to hear?

Answer 1

A city or county court are most likely to hear misdemeanor criminal and traffic cases, which involve offenses committed within its police jurisdiction, for example: traffic tickets.

Answer 2

The correct answer is a local person accused of murder .

In the case of the city or country court, they would hear the case of a local person who is being accused of murder. It has more relevance than a resident fighting a ticket for parking on a city street. The city or country court do not have jurisdiction in the case of a state senator accusation of illegal gambling. So, the person accused of murder is the most important one for the court.
