Question

Read the scenario.

Green City has a law against making loud noises after 9 p.m. on weekdays. The police respond to complaints of a party that is blaring music late at night on a Wednesday. The police give the homeowner a ticket for violating the law. The ticket gives a date on which the homeowner must appear in court.

Which court will handle the case?

local court
state court
federal court
US Supreme Court

Answer 1

local court

Reason: This is a municipal/local ordinance (a city noise law). Such citations are handled in a local/municipal (or other state trial-level) court — not federal court or the U.S. Supreme Court.
