<p begin="00:00:00.25" end="00:00:05.50">This is your legal minute, brought to you by the Ohio State Bar Foundation.</p>
<p begin="00:00:05.60" end="00:00:10.00">Each of Ohio’s 88 counties has a common pleas court.</p>
<p begin="00:00:10.10" end="00:00:14.00">The common pleas court handles primarily four types of cases:</p>
<p begin="00:00:14.10" end="00:00:21.70">serious criminal matters, civil cases, domestic relations matters, and special kinds of cases called “equity.”</p>
<p begin="00:00:21.80" end="00:00:27.60">All felony criminal cases in each county are processed through common pleas court.</p>
<p begin="00:00:27.70" end="00:00:37.00">The court also hears civil cases, usually involving rather large sums of money claimed by the parties such as negligence or malpractice cases.</p>
<p begin="00:00:37.10" end="00:00:43.90">It also has authority to determine divorces, marital dissolutions, and child custody cases;</p>
<p begin="00:00:44.00" end="00:00:47.70">these come under the umbrella term, “domestic relations.”</p>
<p begin="00:00:47.80" end="00:00:54.70">The court also may issue special restraining orders or injunctions. These are called equity cases.</p>
<p begin="00:00:55.80" end="00:00:59.00">This legal minute is brought to you by the Ohio State Bar Foundation.</p>
