→Overview of organization: nomenclature
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.
