Circuit Civil
The Circuit Civil Division handles civil actions in which the damages being sought or the matter in controversy is $15,000.01 and above. The majority of the cases filed in Circuit Civil involve disputes over the title and boundaries of real property including Foreclosure Actions, Quiet Title Suits, Partition Complaints, and Condemnation/Eminent Domain Suits. Some of the other types of cases filed in the Circuit Civil Division are Medical Malpractice, Negligence, Declaratory Complaints, Contract Disputes, Writs of Certiorari, Writs of Habeas Corpus, Writs of Prohibition, and all other civil actions that do not fall within the jurisdiction of the County court.

Due to the complex legal nature of these cases, the Circuit Civil Division does not offer any forms or advice on how to proceed with these actions.
