Alabama's courts are organized into a system that includes several levels. The state has a Supreme Court, which is the highest court, along with Court of Civil Appeals and Court of Criminal Appeals. Below these are the Circuit Courts, which handle major civil and criminal cases, and District Courts, which deal with minor civil cases and misdemeanors. The court system also includes Municipal Courts that address violations of city ordinances. Each court has specific jurisdictions and responsibilities, ensuring that legal matters are handled appropriately throughout the state. This structure helps maintain order and justice in Alabama.
