State court deals with which types of cases?

• A. Exclusive jurisdiction over domestic relations
• B. Civil law actions except cases with exclusive jurisdiction of superior court, traffic, all cases below felon grade, appellate review of magistrate court civil cases, no juries
• C. Habeas corpus
• D. Capital felonies

Answer: (B)

State courts are trial courts of limited jurisdiction. They handle civil actions that are not exclusively within the superior court’s domain, plus common matters like traffic offenses and misdemeanors (below felony level). They also provide appellate review of civil matters from magistrate courts. Because capital felonies, habeas corpus, and many domestic-relations issues fall under superior court, they aren’t handled by the state court. The option that lists civil actions not under superior court, traffic, misdemeanors, appellate review of magistrate court civil cases, and related limited-court civil matters best reflects the actual scope of a state court’s workload.
