The two lowest courts in Missouri are the Municipal Courts and the Associate Circuit Courts. Municipal Courts handle violations of city ordinances and minor criminal cases, while Associate Circuit Courts address civil cases involving lower amounts and misdemeanor criminal cases. Both serve as entry points for the state's judicial system before cases may escalate to higher courts.
