Which court would typically hear misdemeanor and traffic offenses?

The correct answer is Limited Jurisdiction Court because this type of court specifically handles cases involving lesser offenses, including misdemeanors and traffic violations. These courts are designed to manage cases that do not carry severe penalties, thus allowing for a more efficient legal process for minor offenses. Cases handled in Limited Jurisdiction Courts often include local ordinance violations, petty crimes, and other minor legal matters, making them the most appropriate venue for misdemeanor and traffic offenses.

In contrast, Intermediate Appellate Courts typically do not handle initial cases; instead, they review decisions made by lower courts. Tribal Courts focus on legal matters specific to Native American tribes and may not have jurisdiction over standard misdemeanors or traffic offenses in non-tribal contexts. Superior Courts generally handle serious criminal cases, felonies, and the appeals from Limited Jurisdiction Courts, and are thus not the first place to address misdemeanor and traffic offenses.
