The Grosse Pointe Park Municipal Court is one of five remaining municipal courts in the state of Michigan. Jurisdiction is limited to matters arising in the City of Grosse Pointe Park. The Court's jurisdiction in criminal matters is identical to the jurisdiction of district courts found in other communities. The court issues search and arrest warrants. Misdemeanor offenders are arraigned, tried, and sentenced by the court. In felony cases, the court arraigns the defendant, sets the bond and bond conditions, and exists to support a finding of probable cause to believe that the defendant committed the charged offense and should face trial. Trial and sentencing felony matters occur is the Wayne County Circuit Court. General civil jurisdiction of the court is limited to matters involving up to $3000.00. Cases involving larger sums are heard by the Wayne County Circuit Court. The Municipal Court hears all landlord-tenant matters, civil infractions, and traffic citations. |
