Normally the cases held at the county level include misdemeanors and felonies that are not reported at the federal level.

In the confusion of divorce, most parents never consider the issue of child custody beforehand.

Tort law is different from the laws of contract, restitution, and the criminal law. Contract law protects the parties involved when expectations arise from promises, restitution prevents unjust enrichment and compensation for wrongdoing, and criminal law punishes crimes that are so severe (like murder, rape, fraud) that society has a direct interest in preventing and dealing with them. Note that many wrongs can result in liability to both the state (as criminal activity and proceedings) and to the victims (as torts).
