Jurisdiction of the District Court
The District Courts are trial courts of general jurisdiction and are organized into 12 judicial districts to serve all 93 counties in the state. Burt County is in the Sixth Judicial District which also includes Cedar, Dakota, Dixon, Dodge, Thurston, and Washington counties.
District Courts have original jurisdiction in all felony cases, equity cases, domestic relations cases, and civil cases where the amount in controversy involves more than $51,000.
They also have appellate jurisdiction in certain matters arising out of county court and serve as appellate courts in administrative appeals, where they review the record of testimony and evidence from the lower court or tribunal and issue an opinion and ruling in the case.
