DISTRICT COURT


60TH DISTRICT COURT MISSION STATEMENT

The 60th District Court is committed to excellence in pursuit of the fair,
efficient, and equal administration of justice. Our judges and staff are
dedicated to serving our community and one another by diligently working to
resolve disputes before the court in a manner that respects the individual
parties and demonstrates our adherence to the rule of law, our obligation to
protect the rights and liberties of our fellow citizens, and our fidelity to the
principles of fairness and impartiality.

















What is District Court?

The District Court is a trial court of limited jurisdiction. Michigan is divided
into 101 judicial districts, ranging in size from a single city or township to
multiple counties. The District Court has exclusive jurisdiction over the
following types of cases:

 * Civil suits involving $25,000 or less
 * Adult criminal misdemeanor offenses punishable by up to one year's
   imprisonment
 * Civil infractions or traffic violations
 * Landlord or tenant disputes, such as eviction proceedings
 * Small claims (civil suits involving $7,000 or less)
 * Land contract forfeitures


ADULT CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS

In addition to its jurisdiction to try adult criminal offenses punishable by up
to one year's imprisonment, the District Court is the court in which all other
adult criminal proceedings begin, regardless of the nature of the offense. In
carrying out this function, the District Court has jurisdiction to:

 * Issue arrest and search warrants
 * Set bail and accept bond
 * Conduct misdemeanor and felony arraignments
 * Preside over preliminary examinations for felony offenses


DISTRICT COURT DECISIONS

District Court decisions are generally appealable to the Circuit Court, although
a different appeal process applies to informal hearings involving civil traffic
infractions, and small claims cases.
