Mohave County Limited Courts |
 |
|
The Limited Courts are, perhaps, the courts that most Arizona citizens are aware of. Sometimes also referred to as a Lower Courts, they are so named because of their limited jurisdictions. In other words, state law defines and limits the types of cases that can be heard in these courts. The Arizona Limited Court System is made up of the Justice of the Peace Cour In Mohave County, there are five justice of the peace precincts, serving the northern Arizona Strip area, the Kingman/central area, the Bullhead City area and the Lake Havasu/southern area. In addition, there are several Municipal Courts. Specifically the courts are the Moccasin Consolidated Court, the Kingman/Cerbat Justice Court, the Kingman Municipal Court, the Bullhead City Justice Court, the Bullhead City Municipal Court, and the Lake Havasu Consolidated Court. While similar in nature, each court is comprised of its own unique characteristic, providing service designed to fit the needs of the communities that they serve. Each court has a justice of the peace and/or magistrate, and the justice of the peace courts also have constables. You can find out information about a specific court, by clicking on their individual link located on the left. The Mohave County Limited Courts are serviced overall by the Limited Jurisdiction Court Administration. Designed to provide continuity within the county, the Court Administrator’s Office handles judicial support functions to the Limited Court judges and magistrates, under direction of the Presiding Justice of the peace. This office oversees program functions set up by the courts. We hope you find this information useful, and we look forward to providing accurate and comprehensive web services to the citizens of Mohave County. Sincerely,
