About. The Supreme Court of North Carolina is the state’s highest court, and there is no further appeal from its decisions on matters of state law. It is made up of the Chief Justice, who also serves as head of the Judicial Branch, and six associate justices.

Q: What is the difference between District Court and Superior Court? All felony criminal cases, civil cases involving more than $10,000 and misdemeanor and infraction appeals from District Court are tried in Superior Court. A jury of 12 hears the criminal cases. In the civil cases,juries are often waived.

What kinds of cases do civil courts handle?

• money and debts.
• property.
• housing – such as eviction, foreclosure or to fix bad living conditions.
• an injury – such as from a car accident, medical malpractice or environmental harm.
• marriage and children – such as divorce, child custody, child support, or guardianship.

Some types of commercial litigation include breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, copyright infringement, fraud, trademark infringement, unfair competition, indemnity, defamation, and construction disputes. These types of litigation is a fairly new field of law.

Crimes that are considered less serious than felonies are misdemeanors. A misdemeanor is typically punishable by less than one year in a county jail. Like felonies, misdemeanors can be violent or non-violent in nature. This type of crime usually involves minor offenses that cause minor damage.

Felonies are the most serious type of crime and are often classified by degrees, with a first degree felony being the most serious. They include terrorism, treason, arson, murder, rape, robbery, burglary, and kidnapping, among others.

Felonies can be committed at either the federal or state level. State felonies are crimes that break state laws, and because of this, state felonies can vary widely from state to state; something that is considered a felony in one state may not be considered a felony in another state.

A felony charge will stay on your record for life. The only way to remove a felony from your record is through a strict process called expungement (more on expungement below).

According to the U.S Constitution, a passport can be denied to an applicant if they have been convicted of taking arms against the United States Government, or plotting its overthrow. In short, an act of treason guarantees that you will not be allowed to travel abroad.
