www.courtrecords.org offers you the opportunity to request for court records from any state from the privacy of your home and office. Every state has its own trial court system. In South Carolina this system includes circuit courts, magistrate courts, family courts, probate courts and municipal courts.

While the magistrate courts, family courts, probate courts and municipal courts have limited jurisdiction, the circuit courts have general jurisdiction over civil as well as criminal cases. Circuit courts hear cases that fall beyond the jurisdiction of the other courts. The civil cases heard at these courts include those that involve claims of more than $7,500. Criminal cases that are handled by the circuit courts include felonies and misdemeanors.

The magistrate courts of South Carolina are also known as the summary courts and handle civil cases such as contract claims of less than $7500; they also hear cases that don’t involve claims. The criminal cases handled at these courts usually include those that may require a short period of imprisonment. Magistrate courts share some jurisdiction with the family courts. The South Carolina family courts have jurisdiction over cases involving domestic relations. They share some jurisdiction with the probate courts also. The South Carolina probate courts hear cases dealing with estates, wills, trusts and guardianship.

The municipal courts are formed by municipalities and hear cases of municipal ordinance violation and criminal offenses. The courts can award punishment of imprisonment for a year.
