What is a Limited Jurisdiction Court in AZ?

Justice of the peace courts and municipal (or city) courts have limited jurisdiction, meaning that their authority is restricted to certain cases. The cases these courts decide may be limited by the subject, the amount of a money involved, or the sentence that can be imposed.
