Court records are made public so that people can access them
freely. However, because of the numbers of court records available
under different case categories it makes the task of looking for
court records an enormous one. You can now choose to request for

It is important to understand the manner in which a state’s
trial court system is structured and accordingly court records
stored. Michigan has a trial court system that includes circuit
courts, district courts, probate courts, municipal courts and
the court of claims. While the Michigan district, municipal and
probate courts have limited jurisdiction over certain cases, the
circuit courts have general jurisdiction over all types of cases.
The circuit courts usually hear cases that fall beyond the jurisdiction
of the other courts.
The circuit courts hear civil cases of more than $25,000 in disputes
and criminal cases such as felonies and juvenile delinquency cases.
Each Michigan circuit court has a family division to deal with
domestic relations cases as well as a friend of the court who
manages cases that involve minors. The district courts hear cases
of misdemeanors, preliminary hearings for felonies and for traffic
violations. They also try civil cases of less than $25,000 in
dispute. Probate courts handle matters of wills, trusts, estates
and guardianship. Michigan municipal courts share some jurisdiction
with the district courts and the court of claims handles matters
beyond the purview of the municipal courts and for more than $1000
in dispute.
