What types of cases may I hear?
Jury cases are either criminal or civil. Cheney Municipal Court hears only criminal cases.

A criminal case is brought by the state, or a city or county against one or more persons accused of committing a crime. In these cases, the state, city, or county is the plaintiff; and the accused person is the defendant. The defendant is informed of the charge, or charges called a complaint or information.
