What courts hold jury trials?
In federal court, the district courts can have jury trials. If the opposing parties in a suit agree to waive their right to a jury trial, the judge may preside and enter a verdict. In state court, the answer is less straightforward because each state has its own court structure. States often have specialized courts specifically for family law, probate, or small claims, but generally there are 3 basic levels in a state court system: 1. Supreme Court (the highest court in the state) [no jury] 2. Appellate (or appeals) courts [no jury] 3. Trial courts [jury]. The trial courts are called by different names in different states so it's confusing (for example, in California trial courts are called 'superior courts' and in Alabama they are called 'circuit courts.')

When is there a jury at a municipal court?
Municipal courts typically do not have jury trials; they handle minor offenses, traffic violations, and municipal ordinance violations. However, in some cases, such as when a defendant requests a jury trial for certain misdemeanors, a jury may be present. The specific rules can vary by jurisdiction, so it's essential to check the local laws regarding jury trials in municipal courts. Generally, more serious offenses are tried in higher courts where jury trials are more common.
How are lower state courts different from higher state courts courts?
The lower state courts are courts of original jurisdiction and hear all cases within their purview and conduct jury trials. The higher state courts are not courts of original jurisdiction, only hearing cases that are referred to them by appeal of a lower court verdict or by motion. They conduct non-jury trials. These courts are the Court of Appeals and the State Supreme Court.
