Ohio court records then it is important to understand the manner
in which the Ohio trial court system is structured. It consists
of court of common pleas, county courts, municipal courts, mayor’s
courts and the court of claims. The court of common pleas has
general jurisdiction on all types of cases, while the county courts,
municipal courts and the mayor’s courts have limited jurisdiction.
The Ohio court of claims handles certain civil cases made against
the state of Ohio.
The Ohio court of common please generally hears cases that fall
outside the jurisdiction of the other courts. It hears both civil
and criminal cases. It has several divisions such as the general
division, domestic relations division and the probate division.
The Ohio county courts hear civil cases that involve claims of
less than $15,000 and usually include personal property and contract
cases. The courts handle criminal cases like misdemeanors, preliminary
hearings for felonies and parking violations.
The municipal courts have a similar jurisdiction as the county
courts and hear civil cases that amount to less than $15,000 and
criminal cases such as preliminary hearings for felonies, ordinance
violations and traffic violations. The municipal courts sometimes
also have an environmental division to handle related cases.
The Ohio mayor’s court hears civil cases that have claims
of less than $3,000 and criminal cases such as ordinance violations.
