Circuit courts may be the name given to the trial courts of a state, and have jurisdiction to hear both civil and criminal cases. In states that have different jurisdictional levels of trial courts, Circuit courts may be the higher level, and therefore, have the jurisdiction to address cases involving greater sums of money, or more severe criminal matters (such as felonies).
The names of courts is not uniform between and among the states, so it is necessary to consult the statutes of the state in which you reside to be certain of the nomenclature.
Most circuit courts have subdivisions, a common one being a family court division. Family law issues such as child custody, adoption, and dissolutions of marriage are heard by the family court. Probate often has its own court as well. Civil cases that do not have its own subdivision are adjudicated by the civil circuit court.

What is the difference between district court and circuit court in the state of Arkansas?
Arkansas Circuit Courts have jurisdiction over civil cases with claims over $100. District Courts handle all civil cases with claims of $100 or less, and don't handle civil cases with claims over $25,000. For civil cases with claims between $100 and $25,000, both courts share jurisdiction. How they split them up varies from county to county. For criminal cases, Circuit Courts hear most felonies and some misdemeanors while District Courts hear most misdemeanors. Circuit Courts can refer criminal cases to District Court, but not vice versa. District Courts also handle traffic tickets and local ordinance violations. Circuit Courts usually handle all domestic relations (divorce, custody, support, etc), juvenile, and probate cases. There are actually two types of District Courts: State District Courts and Local District Courts. If all parties consent, a Circuit Court may refer a civil, family, or probate case to a State District Court but not to a Local District Court.
