Kentucky has a trial court system that includes circuit courts
and district courts. District courts have a limited jurisdiction
while circuit courts have a general jurisdiction on most civil
and criminal cases. Any cases that fall outside the jurisdiction
of the district courts are heard by the circuit courts. Circuit
courts usually handle most civil and criminal cases. Civil cases
include claims of over $4,000, and criminal cases include capital
crimes and felonies. Some circuit courts also have a family division
to manage cases related to domestic relations such as divorce,
child custody and domestic violence.

and criminal cases. They hear civil cases that involve less than
