 Originally, there were two levels of first instance courts, one having jurisdiction over petty matters and the other hearing felony cases, major civil cases and first level petty appeals. The lower court was known as a Municipal or Justice Court. The higher court was called the Superior Court. In the 1990s, the lower courts were merged with the Superior Courts to decrease costs and streamline the process.
