Students will provide an example of a criminal act, identify the court in which a trial for that act would take place, and provide an explanation of the type of infraction that took place. For example, "A city police officer issued Joe a citation for speeding. Traffic violations are Class C misdemeanors, and since the infraction occurred within city limits, the city municipal court has jurisdiction over the case."
