North Carolina Superior Court

North Carolina Superior Court

The Superior Court is North Carolina’s general jurisdiction trial court. It has jurisdiction over all felony cases, cases involving over $10,000, and appeals of misdemeanor and infraction cases from the North Carolina District Courts.[1]

The Superior Courts are divided into 8 divisions and further into 46 districts. Judges rotate from district to district within their division every six months in order to avoid the danger of corruption or favoritism between a permanent judge and a single community.[2]
