What Is a Municipal Court?

Not all states have municipal courts handling misdemeanor traffic offense cases. Florida, for example, does not have municipal courts. Georgia does, as well as Mississippi. All determinations of local court existence comes from the state legislature, which has to enact laws that permit local operation of inferior courts (courts without jury trials and broad subject matter jurisdiction), such as the municipal courts in Alabama, as one of the last vestiges of local rule.

Generally, the larger the City, the larger the number of cases and revenues from such traffic ticket arrests.

This same Birmingham traffic may (at some point) cross a city limits line into Homewood, Hoover, Vestavia Hills, or Bessemer or other Alabama suburbs, and then ant traffic citations get booked into those courts, such as the City of Homewood Alabama.
