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 for Oregon court records, visit us at www.courtrecords.org.
