North Carolina County Court Information

There are one hundred counties in North Carolina. However the judicial divisions are not based on these geographical divisions.  The state boasts a unified court system comprising of the Appellate Division and a couple of Trial Divisions-namely, the Superior Courts and the District Courts.

 

North Carolina Superior Courts

 

There are sixty-four Superior Courts in the different judicial districts of North Carolina.  There are 105 Superior Court judges who have to tackle approximately 280,000 cases annually. There are 14 special judges in the Superior Courts but there is no provision for jury trials within them.

Each of these North Carolina county courts has the power to decide cases related to misdemeanors and felonies, matters concerning estates and adoptions, and appeals made by the Industrial Commissions and Utilities Commission.

 

North Carolina District Courts

 

There are also several district courts in North Carolina. These North Carolina county courts have limited jurisdiction. There are 226 judges appointed for the district courts in North Carolina. There are also 706 magistrates appointed for the district courts in the state.

The district courts have the power to decide cases related to felony and misdemeanor preliminary hearings, divorces, domestic issues and other civil matters worth less than $10,000, mental health cases and juvenile crimes. Apart from these cases, the judges of the district also have the authority for punishing cases of contempt, issuance of arrest and search warrants, ordering the presentation of evidence and presence of witnesses, and granting bail. 

These powers have been bestowed on the district courts by the North Carolina General Statutes §7A-291. In some cases, the district courts also preside over hearings to decide whether there is enough available evidence to bring the suspect before the grand jury so that an indictment for a Superior Court trial court can be given. Jury trials are held in the district courts but only in cases that concern civil matters.
