At the lowest level, courts of limited jurisdiction handle misdemeanor cases.
Limited jurisdiction courts may also handle specific types of cases, such as drug courts,
domestic violence courts, and mental health courts. In contrast, courts of general
jurisdiction do not have any restrictions on the types of cases that they can hear. In the
criminal courts, general jurisdiction courts hear the most serious felony cases.
