Phoenix, between the
communities of Carefree and Tempe. Located in eastern
Maricopa County,

Those heading to state court in Arizona will go to one of two trial
courts: the
Justice Courts or the
Superior Courts. There are 25 Justice Courts in Maricopa County,
which handle cases where the amount in controversy is $10,000 or less,
misdemeanor charges, landlord and tenant disputes, and a wide range of
civil and criminal traffic offenses. The Superior Courts act as the
trial courts for the State of Arizona. Superior Courts handle family
and juvenile cases, probate cases, tax issues, and numerous civil and
criminal cases. There are several Superior Court locations in the
Phoenix area.

Appeals and the

Court are both located at 1501 West Washington Street in Phoenix.
