Question 14 • UT-US Government and Citizenship CR

City and county courts have limited jurisdiction on municipal issues. Whose case would a city or county court be most likely to hear?

Answer
A
a local person accused of murder
B
a resident fighting a ticket for parking on a city street
C
a state senator accused of illegal gambling
D
a member of a national crime ring that started locally

Explanation

City and county courts commonly handle local matters such as traffic and parking violations. A resident challenging a ticket for parking on a city street is therefore the most likely case for one of these courts to hear. Murder and major organized-crime cases are generally handled by higher courts, while a state senator’s alleged crime is not a municipal issue.
