Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Administrative Office of the Courts, 1967 In the trial division of the General Court of Justice, criminal cases are allocated on a jurisdictional basis. There is no jurisdictional division as to civil cases. The District Court Division has exclusive original jurisdiction of misdemeanors. The District Court is the proper division for the trial of civil cases where the amount in controversy is or less. It is also the forum for domestic relations and juvenile cases. N o jury is provided in the District Court for criminal trials. Each defendant has the right of appeal to the Superior Court and to trial de novo. Jury trial is provided, upon demand, in the District Court in civil matters, and appeal therefrom is to the Court of Appeals. There will be approximately 105-110 District Court Judges when the establishment of the new system is completed. The judges are elected to four-year terms. A Chief District Judge with very extensive administrative authority is designated in each district by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Specialized judgeships are authorized.
