Superior Court Criminal Division

This division is responsible for filing and maintaining all court pleadings presented by the State, defendants, and/or their attorneys.


Criminal cases are initiated in Superior Court once a defendant has been arrested on a criminal warrant or citation and the District Attorney has accused or indicted the defendant, or when a special presentment is made before the Grand Jury.

Probate-Traffic violations are also handled through the Superior Criminal division of the Clerk’s Office. These cases mainly consist of DUI, driving while licenses suspended, and any other violations that may receive jail time upon conviction.
