Franklin County Circuit Courts Records
The Florida court system was reformed in 1973 and now consists of a two-tiered trial court system - county and circuit courts. Florida county courts often are referred to as “the people’s courts” as their jurisdiction is citizen disputes like misdemeanors (less serious criminal matters), traffic offenses, and disputes of small monetary value. The circuit courts of Florida have original jurisdiction over various cases, including civil disputes involving amounts greater than $30,000, estate controversies, cases regarding minors and incapacitated persons, juvenile cases, tax disputes, property boundary determinations, and declaratory judgments. Additionally, the circuit courts can issue writs such as certiorari, mandamus, habeas corpus, and others to exercise their jurisdiction fully.
