Superior Court Judge

- The justice of the peace presides over justice courts in each county. The number of justice courts in a county depends on its population. 
- A justice of the peace hears lawsuits, presides over misdemeanor cases, and hears civil and criminal traffic violations. Some examples of cases they might handle include eviction actions, DUIs (driving under the influence), and shoplifting. 
- Justices of the peace are elected in staggered elections for four-year terms. These elections are partisan. 
- Their salary depends on their judicial productivity, in other words, how many cases they see each year and equals, on average, $115,290.
- Some justices of the peace may be an attorney, but this is not a requirement for the role.

- Most justice of the peace precincts have an elected constable, who serves court papers in civil court cases and makes arrests throughout the county. 
- Constables are responsible for helping carry out the state's laws and keep the peace within the county. They attend the local Justice Court. 
- Constables may collect money that people owe to the court system, conduct evictions, and serve protective orders. 
- County constables are elected in partisan elections to four-year terms. One constable is elected per district, and the districts are the same as the justice of the peace districts.
