The County Court is Victoria's principal trial court. Each year around 12,000 matters are dealt with by the Court's 70 judges, supported by 240 staff. The Court's purpose is to hear and determine matters in a fair, timely, efficient, and accessible way. It has original jurisdiction in all civil matters and deals with the majority of indictable offences. The Court deals with matters through three Divisions: Criminal, Common Law, and Commercial. The Court also includes the Circuit Court and the Koori Court. Circuit Court operates at twelve regional locations across Victoria and encompasses the entirety of the Court's jurisdiction. The Koori Court ensures greater participation of the Aboriginal community in sentencing processes. Connect with us on: Twitter @CountyCourtVic YouTube @County Court of Victoria
