Editing North Dakota (section)

===Judicial===
North Dakota's court system has four levels, one of which is dormant. Municipal courts serve the cities. Decisions from municipal courts are generally appealable to district court. Most cases start in the [[Courts of North Dakota|district courts]], which are courts of general jurisdiction. There are 42 district court judges in seven judicial districts.<ref>{{cite web | title = District Courts | publisher = North Dakota Supreme Court | url = http://www.ndcourts.com/court/districts/districts.htm | access-date = October 6, 2007 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20101020151134/http://www.ndcourts.com/court/districts/Districts.htm | archive-date = October 20, 2010 | url-status = dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title = All District Judges | publisher = North Dakota Supreme Court | url = http://www.ndcourts.com/court/districts/judges.htm | access-date = October 6, 2007 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100918051643/http://www.ndcourts.com/court/districts/judges.htm | archive-date = September 18, 2010 | url-status = dead }}</ref> Appeals from final district court decisions are made to the [[North Dakota Supreme Court]]. An intermediate court of appeals was provided for by statute in 1987, but the North Dakota Court of Appeals has only heard 65 cases since its inception. The North Dakota Court of Appeals is essentially dormant, but capable of meeting if the North Dakota Supreme Court's case load necessitates the reestablishment of intermediate review.<ref>{{cite web | title = North Dakota Judicial System | publisher = North Dakota Supreme Court | url = http://www.ndcourts.com/court/brochure.htm | access-date = October 6, 2007 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100420082018/http://www.ndcourts.com/court/Brochure.htm | archive-date = April 20, 2010 | url-status = dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=VandeWalle|first=Gerald|date=September 8, 2013|title=North Dakota Destinctives|url=http://www.albanylawreview.org/Articles/Vol76_4/76.4.2019%20VandeWalle.pdf|journal=Albany Law Review|volume=76|issue=4|pages=2023|access-date=September 6, 2021|archive-date=May 16, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210516204038/https://www.albanylawreview.org/Articles/Vol76_4/76.4.2019%20VandeWalle.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref>
