Court of Common Pleas (United States)

A Court of Common Pleas is in the law of the United States, a term that refers to a dish with certain responsibilities. It originates from the Court of Common Pleas from the English legal system and was introduced by the colonists along with the rest of the English Common Law tradition in the United States.

In the U.S. legal system, there are at least three states that still have Courts of Common Pleas:

• Delaware: A State Court further limited jurisdiction, which is present in all three counties, less serious criminal cases; previous hearings for criminal cases with felony; is negotiated and civil cases involving amounts up to $ 50,000 and appointed by the Governor for twelve year periods.
• Ohio: The Court of general criminal and civil jurisdiction, which is available in any county in Ohio. Judges are elected in general.
• Pennsylvania: The Court of Justice for criminal and civil jurisdiction, which is available in all counties of Pennsylvania and is organized according to jurisdictions. Most jurisdictions are identical to the County in which the jurisdiction is, but some counties with lower population share a district court ( and thus a court ) with one or more other adjacent counties. Judges are elected in general.
• South Carolina: the court of first instance for civil jurisdiction, which is available in every county in South Carolina.
