1. The Superior Court in Arizona
The superior court is the state’s general jurisdiction court. It is a single entity with
locations in each county. Each county has at least one superior court judge. In counties
with more than one superior court judge, the judges operate in numbered divisions.
In Arizona the superior court has jurisdiction over all cases and proceedings in which
exclusive jurisdiction is not vested by law in any of the lower courts. All criminal cases
amounting to a felony, and misdemeanor cases not otherwise provided for by law are
the responsibility of the superior court system.
