County Criminal Court

A County Criminal Court Judge presides over cases involving misdemeanor offenses, which are less serious crimes than felonies. These cases may include charges like theft, drug possession, or traffic violations. The judge oversees trials, listens to evidence, and makes decisions based on the law. They also make sure that the legal rights of everyone involved are protected. In some cases, they may decide the sentence if someone is found guilty. County Criminal Court Judges serve four-year terms and must be licensed attorneys.
