Best Answer

Florida's State judiciary consists of a Supreme Court of Florida, five District Courts of Appeal, each hearing appeals from a certain number of Florida's twenty judicial circuits, each containing a Circuit Court, and sixty-seven County Courts.

Depending on (1) the amounts in controversy in civil matters; and (2) subject-matter jurisdiction as set forth in the Florida Constitution and in State statute, your general trial court may be a County Court, or it may be a Circuit Court. Removing to or originating in Federal Court, Florida's federal judiciary consists of the United States District Courts for the Northern, Middle, and Southern Districts of Florida (Florida's federal appellate court is the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit--and from there, appeal is by writ of certoriari only by the Supreme Court of the United States).

Do general trial courts hear cases from lower courts?

It depends on the setup of your state's judicial system. In some states, cases heard by a magistrate or other lower court can be appealed to a court of common pleas, or "general trial court". Generally, however, cases are appealed to appellate courts and not to trial courts.
