Criminal, civil and family cases are heard in the trial courts.
Criminal cases are those in which a defendant stands accused of a serious
crime, such as assault , theft, robbery, fraud, or murder. Approximately 50,000
criminal cases are heard in the Criminal
Division of Superior Court each year.
Most civil cases that are heard in the Superior Court involve
disputes in which a plaintiff claims that he or she has been hurt by the
actions of the defendant and seeks monetary compensation. Examples of such
cases are those involving automobile accidents, medical malpractice, breaches
of contracts and landlord tenant disputes.
Civil cases in which the amounts in controversy exceeds $15,000
are heard in the Civil Division of Superior
Court. Cases in which the amounts in controversy are between $3,000 and $15,000
are heard in the Special Civil Part of the Civil Division. Those in which the
amounts in controversy are less than $3,000 also are heard in the Special Civil
Part and are known as small claims cases. In all, about 560,000 cases are heard
in the Civil Division and Special Civil Part.
Civil cases in which monetary damages are not being sought are
heard in the General Equity Division of Superior Court. General Equity judges
handle non-jury cases such as those involving trade secrets, labor matters,
foreclosures and other disputes in which court relief, often in the form of
restraining orders, is sought on an emergency basis.
Family related cases, such as those involving divorce, domestic
violence, juvenile delinquency, child support, foster-care placements and
termination of parental rights, are heard in the Family Division of Superior
Court. About 350,000 cases are handled by the Family
Division each year.
