State Court Jurisdictional Issues

In order for students to demonstrate knowledge of the organization and functions of the American court system, a proper analysis of the jurisdictional limits of small claims, county, and district courts is necessary. While crimes are not prosecuted in small claims, what crimes are fully prosecuted in county or district courts?
Instructions

Written assignments should be a minimum of 700 words. Creative presentations should be a minimum of 10 minutes and should have some form of speaker notes either embedded (PowerPoint) or attached, as well as a Microsoft Word version of your reference page (or Reference slide).
All assignments should be written in third person/neutral language. Do not use first person language such as “I,” “you,” “we,” “us,” “our,” etc. unless such language is contained in a quote from a scholarly source.
All assignments shall conform to APA formatting. Two sample APA papers are available for your reference in the Syllabus Submodule: Sample APA Papers in the Content area of this course.

Your assignment will automatically be submitted to Turnitin. PowerPoints can be submitted there, too. You have to hold yourself accountable for any other creative presentation! Everything needs in-text citations and references;
Turnitin is activated for you so review what Turnitin says! If you have to revise your assignment, I will always accept the last assignment you submit subject to any late penalties;
Please note you may have a high Turnitin “plagiarism” ratio SIMPLY because you did not format the in-text citations correctly.
If you have not given proper credit in the form of in-text citations for either quotes or paraphrases, make sure to do so! Any form of plagiarism including self-plagiarism (quoting from your own writings) is not acceptable!
