Territorial courts are similar to federal district courts in that they hear cases related to federal law and the U.S. Constitution, but they have jurisdiction within U.S. territories rather than states. These courts have limited authority compared to federal district courts.
States have low-level courts like municipal and traffic courts to manage smaller, less severe cases efficiently. These courts help alleviate the workload of higher courts and provide faster resolutions for minor legal issues. Additionally, low-level courts help individuals address their legal matters closer to their community and with reduced cost and complexity.
Magistrate courts typically handle minor criminal offenses, traffic violations, landlord-tenant disputes, small claims cases, and issuance of search warrants and arrest warrants. They often serve as the first-level courts in the legal system and help alleviate the caseload of higher courts.
The percentage of cases heard in state courts varies by jurisdiction, but on average, state courts handle the majority of cases in the United States. State courts typically oversee civil, criminal, family, probate, and traffic cases, among others. Each state has its own court system to handle these matters.
