→Overview: place of sitting
Typically, all state courts except the trial court of limited jurisdiction are courts of record. In states where the lower-level trial court is not a court of record, when a decision of such a court is appealed to the higher-level trial court, the higher-level trial court hears the matter ''[[de novo]],'' as there is no record on which to base an appeal.

The trial court of general jurisdiction typically sits in the [[county seat]], although [[county|counties]] with large populations may have multiple locations in which it sits. Depending on the state, the trial court of limited jurisdiction may have countywide [[venue]] or venue within a judicial district or municipality within the county.
