    (Most) state court systems include the following; a Limited Jurisdiction Trial Court, referred to as an inferior trial court, a General Jurisdiction Trial Court, referred to as a court of record, Apellate Courts, and a Supreme Court.

    (Every) state has a General Jurisdiction Trial Court. These courts are referred to as Courts of Record because testimony and evidence is recorded for future reference. They hear cases that are not within the jurisdiction of Limited Jurisdiction Trial Courts (eg, felonies, civil cases over a certain dollar amount). Some states divide their General Jurisdiction Courts into two divisions, criminal and civil. The decisions handed down in these courts are appealable to an intermediate Appeals Court or the State Supreme Court.
