The Presiding Judge is appointed by the Mayor and City Council, pursuant to the City Charter. The Court is of limited jurisdiction and deals with misdemeanors, petty offenses, and civil violations, including traffic and City ordinances. The court also issues orders of protection and injunctions against harassment. MISSION: To promptly and fairly process all criminal and traffic violations filed in court and to effectively obtain compliance of the court’s orders. Our municipal court serves the public and contributes to the quality of life in our community by fairly, impartially, and promptly administering justice in an effective, efficient, and professional manner. The Casa Grande Municipal Court accepted over 11,900 filings, held 87 civil, criminal and jury trials and adjudicated over 10,500 cases in FY 2007-08 Since May 2006, Magistrate Judy Ferguson has been on call 24 hours a day to conduct arraignments for individuals picked up on City Court warrants. This effort has saved the City thousands of dollars in jail and video arraignment fees assessed by Pinal County.
