Sort of. There is municipal court in some counties that only hear some issues. Oregon trial courts (1st level) are the Circuit Court for the State of Oregon, County of ……… All are on the same level as far as authority goes and the location of the court is called "venue". All those judges can make orders that are binding on anyone in the state regardless of where the case is venued (maybe I'm reasoning out my question…or Klavening). The next level is the Court of Appeals, divided into geographic districts, then the Oregon Supreme Court.I believe that state trials start at the county level. My buddy is a public defender, and his trials are at the county courthouse.
