Kansas Municipal and District Courts
The Missouri Judiciary consists of three levels of courts: The trial courts (also known as the circuit courts),
an intermediate appellate court (the Missouri Court of Appeals) that is divided into three regional districts, and the
Supreme Court of Missouri.
The circuit courts are the primary trial courts in Missouri. They have authority over almost all civil and criminal
matters. Every Missouri county has a circuit court, and these courts are organized into 45 regional circuits throughout
the state. Each circuit court consists of many divisions, such as circuit, associate circuit, small claims, municipal,
criminal, family, probate and juvenile. The type of case determines the division to which a particular case is assigned.
