How do I know which court my case is in?

To determine which court your case is in, you will need to look at the document which contains the allegations or charges listed against you. All documents related to your case must be stated with precise detail which includes the court where the case is to be heard. The state of Michigan is divided into several different court districts. Each district has its own court. For example, The Genesee County Circuit Court is the primary courthouse for criminal cases in Genesee County. In Detroit, the Wayne County Circuit Court handles criminal cases. The jurisdiction of a court is determined by the location of the alleged criminal event or where the case is initiated. For example, if you are charged with a crime that happened in Flint, Michigan, then your case will be heard in the Genesee County Circuit Court. If you are charged with a crime that happened in Detroit, then your case will be heard in the Wayne County Circuit Court. For more specific information, you should contact the court clerk’s office in the county where the offense occurred. The court clerk’s office can tell you the exact court where your case will be heard. If you have any further questions you may also contact the Michigan State Bar Association. They can provide you with additional information and resources to help you better understand the process.
