Trial courts in the California state court system are called Superior Courts. Unlike many states, California only has one type of trial court. This means that all cases, from small claims, to divorce, to misdemeanors, to felonies are heard by the Superior Courts.
Each county in California has its own Superior Court. Within a county, there may be multiple Superior Court locations. In larger counties, there are separate divisions within a Superior Court for different types of cases.
