Circuit court

Circuit courts are court systems in several common law jurisdictions. It may refer to:

• Courts that literally sit 'on circuit', i.e., judges move around a region or country to different towns or cities where they will hear cases;
• Courts that sit within a judicial circuit, i.e., an administrative division of a country's judiciary; or
• A higher-level trial court, e.g., for felony or indictment offences.
