Document Summary
February 2nd, 2016-lecture 2: chapter 2: state courts: category 1-courts of limited jurisdiction. If your case is more than dollar limit (e. g. limit is 5,000 but yours is. 10,000, that court has no jurisdiction in that case-small claims court: small claims courts are not a court of record (no one is recording all that has been said-not economically efficient so no court recorder) Matters because there is no record so if you take an appeal it is a brand new trial. E. g. traffic courts only hear traffic cases: state courts: category 2-trial court. State are divided into counties and each county has a trial court (in each state calls them something else: state courts: category 2-appellate court. Take appeals from trial courts (big states have two levels of appellate courts and small states have one) Generally, courts of appeals will refuse to look at new evidence. Won"t look at evidence not presented in trial court.
