The New Mexico judicial system comprises of district courts, metropolitan
courts, magistrate courts, probate courts and municipal courts.
The district courts have jurisdiction over all kinds of cases,
civil and criminal. They usually hear cases that are beyond the
jurisdiction of the other courts. The New Mexico district courts
hear civil cases that involve claims of over $10,000 and criminal
cases such as felonies and misdemeanors. District courts also
hear domestic relations cases, probate cases and those involving
juvenile delinquency. Every district court also has a Children’s
Court that handles cases that involve minors and juveniles.
Both metropolitan and magistrate courts have limited jurisdiction
over civil as well as criminal cases. Depending on the size of
a county a metropolitan court may be assembled. Civil cases heard
at metropolitan courts include those that have claims of less
than $10,000; usually these involve landlord and tenant disputes
and disputes over contracts. Criminal cases heard at these courts
include misdemeanors and preliminary hearings for felonies. Magistrate
courts usually handle criminal cases such as ordinance violations
and petty misdemeanors. New Mexico probate courts manage cases
that involve probate matters such as wills, trusts, estate and
guardianship.
New Mexico municipal courts hear cases involving violation of
municipal ordinances. The state also has an independent tribal
court. If you are looking for New Mexico court records, or from
