Hi. Can a judge rule in different courts for people closely associated? Husbands business and a wife's personal criminal. District or county.
Hi Cheryl! Generally, a judge can rule in different courts as long as they have jurisdiction over the specific cases. For instance:
- District Courts handle federal cases.
- County Courts handle local or state matters.
The judge's assignment depends on the court's jurisdiction and the nature of the cases.
Where are you located? This might help in providing more specific guidance related to your area.
