Municipal courts handle what?

• A. All felonies
• B. Probate matters
• C. Class C misdemeanors
• D. Federal cases

Answer: (C)

Municipal courts have limited, local jurisdiction focused on minor offenses. They handle Class C misdemeanors, such as most traffic violations and city ordinance violations. Felonies are more serious crimes and are heard in higher courts (district or county courts). Probate matters are dealt with by probate or county courts, not municipal courts. Federal cases are handled in federal district courts, not municipal courts. So, the best answer is that municipal courts handle Class C misdemeanors.
