The Colorado judiciary comprises the seven-member state Supreme Court, the Court of Appeals, district courts encompassing one or more counties, and county courts. The chief justice of the Supreme Court is the head of the state’s judicial branch. In addition, the constitution calls for juvenile and probate courts, as well as municipal courts, which provide the grassroots core of the judicial system. The judiciary also comprises seven special courts that adjudicate conflicts over water resources.
The district court holds original jurisdiction in all equity cases, probate, divorce proceedings, naturalizations granted by the county court, coroner’s inquests, civil cases, criminal cases, adoptions, juvenile cases, and paternity suits. Denver is the only district in Colorado that has separate probate and juvenile courts.
County courts handle civil cases involving no more than $15,000, misdemeanors, bonds, preliminary hearings, and traffic cases. County judges also issue search warrants and restraining orders.
