A Circuit Court is a type of court that typically handles a variety of cases, including civil, criminal, and family matters. These courts are often organized by geographic regions, known as circuits, and serve as trial courts for more serious offenses and larger civil disputes. In the United States, each state has its own system of Circuit Courts, which may vary in structure and jurisdiction. They often serve as the first level of appeal for decisions made in lower courts, such as District Courts or Municipal Courts.
