In general, cases decided at the local level are minor criminal or quasi-criminal cases, such as municipal ordinance violations, most traffic offenses and lower level crimes like disorderly persons offenses and even some misdemeanors that a state government may choose to let a municipal rather than a state court handle originally. Minor civil cases are usually not handled by municipal courts. Those generally are reserved for state courts like "small claims courts."

State law will specify the types of cases the local level courts can handle, so these types will vary from state to state. You should check your particular state statutes and court rules for a more definite answer as to your specific state's practice.
