Municipal courts typically do not have jury trials; they handle minor offenses, traffic violations, and municipal ordinance violations. However, in some cases, such as when a defendant requests a jury trial for certain misdemeanors, a jury may be present. The specific rules can vary by jurisdiction, so it's essential to check the local laws regarding jury trials in municipal courts. Generally, more serious offenses are tried in higher courts where jury trials are more common.
