How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- broad powers granted to home rule cities to create, control, and define the jurisdiction of municipal courts are limited to matters which are local and municipal in nature; consequently, home rule cities may not deny substantive rights granted to all citizens of the state
- “We would consider it to be destructive of the concept of equality of justice to grant or deny jury trials in petty offense cases merely on the basis of where the offense occurred or in what court the guilt or innocence is to be determined.”
