Every state has a different and unique trial court structure
and this needs to be understood when you are requesting for Oregon
court records. The Oregon court system consists of circuit courts,
county courts, municipal courts, justice courts and the tax court.
The state trial courts are the county courts and the others are
local courts, not state funded ones. The circuit courts have general
jurisdiction over all civil and criminal cases and usually hear
cases that fall beyond the limited jurisdiction of the local courts.
Circuit courts usually have divisions to deal with different
types of cases and these may include drug court, family court,
small claims division and juvenile court. The civil cases tried
at these courts include those of claims and domestic relations
cases. Some of the criminal cases handled at circuit courts include
felonies, preliminary hearings and capital murder. Circuit courts
also have a special commercial court that handles cases arising
from business disputes.
The Oregon county courts have jurisdiction over probate matters
and juvenile cases. The state’s municipal courts share some
jurisdiction with the circuit courts and the justice courts. They
usually hear cases such as traffic violations, violation of ordinances
and tobacco, alcohol and drug violations.
Oregon justice courts handle civil as well as criminal cases.
The type of cases heard in the justice courts depend on whether
it is a ‘of record’ or a ‘not of record’
court. The courts handle criminal cases such as felonies and misdemeanors
and civil cases such as violation of ordinances.
The Oregon tax court hears cases related to tax disputes and
shares some jurisdiction with the circuit courts. If you are searching
