In Illinois, almost all trial level cases are heard in Circuit Courts. There is a separate Court of Claims for cases brought against the state of Illinois, but typical cases such as divorce, criminal, and civil cases are all heard by circuit courts. Generally, each county in Illinois has its own circuit court. Within the larger counties, such as Cook County, there may be multiple divisions within the circuit court for different types of cases, such as probate, juvenile, criminal, and domestic relations.
