What type of court cases go to the West Virginia Magistrate Courts?

West Virginia Magistrate Courts generally handle civil cases where the amount in dispute is $5,000 or less, eviction and other landlord-tenant cases, and some emergency domestic violence protective orders. Nearly all criminal cases "go to" Magsitrate Court, although they don't all stay there. Magistrate Courts conduct arraignments in both felony and misdemeanor cases; arraignments include entry of pleas, plea agreements, and setting of bond. Further action in felony cases is in Circuit Court, but misdemeanor cases are tried in Magistrate Court. Magistrate Courts also handle violations of municipal ordinances if there is no Municipal Court with jurisdiction. Details may be found at the related links below.
