Ethics & Conduct

Judicial Administration

Said, "When I look out over a courtroom, I see facts and law, right and wrong, as I should. However, I see something more. I see human beings whose lives can be affected by what happens in that courtroom. I see their struggles and difficulties. I see my responsibility to them: That they are treated fairly, with dignity, and that their voices are heard."

- District Court judges hear civil, criminal, and juvenile cases. Civil cases dealing with divorce, child custody, and child support are heard in District Court. 
- Under the District Court, the magistrate can try small claims cases ($10,000 or less), landlord eviction cases, and suits for recovery of personal property. A magistrate is an independent judicial officer, recognized by the North Carolina Constitution as an officer of the district court. 
- District Court Judges are elected for a four-year term. Elections are partisan.
