While most people will never be charged with a serious crime,
either you or someone you know has appeared in a Municipal Court.
Municipal Court is usually a city court that handles traffic
tickets, lots of traffic tickets, and ordinance violations such as
accumulation of trash, and neighbor issues such as trespass and
barking dogs. Fines are imposed on the guilty. Those who work there
refer to it as "Muni Court."
This court should not be confused with the television courtroom
shows where two people ask a judge to resolve an issue that usually
requires payment of money to one or the other of the participants,
those are small claims courts. The patrons of Municipal Court are
ordinary citizens who usually appear without the benefit of an
attorney and provide their own defense in a forum with which they
are not familiar. A few do very well in their own defense. Most
simply want to get the matter behind them. But some provide a
fascinating display of human ingenuity, ineptness, self
rationalization and much unintended humor. Muni Court shares a few
of author Bluth's experiences as a muni court judge in two rural
communities.
