against you.
3. You have the right to ask the clerk to issue a subpoena to require
witnesses to come to trial and testify.

within 10 (ten) days of the court's decision and cannot be extended for
any reason. You can appeal even if you are not able to pay. The clerk is
able to provide you information on the process.
OVERVIEW OF MUNICIPAL
DIVISION COURTS
Municipal division courts are authorized by the
Missouri Constitution and are part of the circuit
courts. They are open to the public of all ages. The
purpose of these courts is to provide you with a
place to obtain a fair and impartial trial on any
alleged violation of a city ordinance. While this is
a general overview of your rights in municipal
division courts, each individual court may have
local rules that may apply to your case. Please
check with your local municipal division court for
the local court rules.
Municipal division courts are courts of law
established to protect the rights of all citizens. If
there is anything you do not understand, do not
hesitate to ask the judge any questions.
RIGHTS IN MUNICIPAL
DIVISION COURTS:
Right to know when the court is open
Every court has different hours it is open. It is important that you check the
court's website or call the court's clerk to determine when it is open. A
comprehensive listing of contact information for all municipal division courts in
Missouri can be found at
http://www.courts.mo.gov/mcw/findacourt/muniDivisionList.htm.
Right to attend court
Courts in Missouri are open to the public of all ages.
Right to release pending hearing
If you are in jail for a municipal charge, you have the right to be released unless
the court decides you need to be in jail for the protection of the community or

there may be conditions on your release, including bail.
Right to access court records
If you have a case in a municipal division court, you have the right to see the
court records for your case. This includes records that show charges, court
rulings, fines, and other information for your case.

time so you can hire an attorney. However, you are not required to have an
attorney represent you. You may represent yourself.
Right to have a judge decide if you can afford a lawyer or pay
fines
If you want an attorney, but cannot afford one, you can ask that the judge decide
if you qualify for a court-appointed attorney. You may be required to fill out
paper work about your finances as a part of this process.
You can also request the judge to decide if you are able to pay court fines or to
be granted an alternative sentence. You may be required to fill out paper work
regarding your finances as a part of this process.

You may request a change of judge for any reason within ten (10) days after you
enter your initial plea. If it is past the ten (10) days, then you must show cause

Cuando se programe el juicio de su caso, este será en el mismo tribunal al cual usted compareció, A MENOS que usted pida un juicio por jurado. La petición de juicio por jurado debe hacerse a través de una moción por escrito 10 (diez) días antes de la fecha programada para el juicio. Si la moción se presenta a tiempo, su caso será enviado al juez que preside el tribunal de circuito para programar una nueva fecha de juicio con un jurado.
1. En el juicio, usted tiene derecho a testificar o a guardar silencio. Si usted guarda silencio, esto no se considera una admisión de culpa. Si testifica, el juez puede considerar cualquier declaración que usted emita para decidir si usted es culpable o inocente.
2. En el juicio, tiene derecho a hacer preguntas acerca de los testigos que declaran en su contra.
3. Tiene derecho a pedir al secretario que emita un citatorio para que los testigos comparezcan al juicio y testifiquen.
4. Si lo declaran no culpable, el caso termina. 5. Si lo declaran culpable, usted puede aceptar la decisión o apelar al tribunal de circuito. Si apela su caso, se le concederá un nuevo juicio ante un juez diferente. La petición de apelación tiene que presentarse por escrito en un plazo de 10 (diez) días a partir de la decisión del tribunal y no se puede aplazar por ningún motivo. Usted puede apelar incluso si no puede pagar. Puede encontrar todos los detalles sobre el proceso de apelación en
_________________________________________. Además, puede pedir al secretario información acerca del proceso.
Si usted no es un ciudadano de los Estados Unidos, debe saber que al declararse culpable o ser condenado puede dar lugar a que lo deporten, le nieguen la admisión a los Estados Unidos o le nieguen la naturalización de acuerdo con las leyes de los Estados Unidos. Debe hablar con un abogado, particularmente antes de presentar una admisión de culpabilidad.

RESUMEN DE LOS TRIBUNALES MUNICIPALES
Los tribunales municipales están autorizados por la Constitución de Missouri y son parte de los tribunales de circuito. Están abiertos al público de todas las edades. El propósito de estos tribunales es proporcionarle un lugar donde obtener un juicio justo e imparcial por cualquier supuesta violación de una ordenanza municipal. Aunque este es un resumen general de sus derechos en los tribunales municipales, cada tribunal puede tener sus propias normas locales que se pueden aplicar a su caso. Por favor, consulte con el tribunal municipal de su localidad las normas del tribunal local.
Los tribunales municipales son juzgados establecidos para proteger los derechos de todos los ciudadanos. Si hay algo que usted no entienda, no dude en hacer cualquier pregunta al juez.

Derecho de asistir al tribunal
Los tribunales de Missouri están abiertos al público de todas las edades.
Derecho a salir en libertad mientras espera la audiencia Si usted está en la cárcel por un cargo municipal, tiene derecho a salir en libertad, a menos que el tribunal decida que usted debe estar en la cárcel para proteger a la comunidad o porque es posible que no se presente al tribunal. Si el tribunal ordena que usted salga de la cárcel puede imponer condiciones para su salida, incluyendo el pago de una fianza.
Derecho a tener acceso a los expedientes del tribunal Si usted tiene un caso en un tribunal municipal, tiene derecho a ver los expedientes del tribunal sobre su caso. Esto incluye expedientes que muestren los cargos, decisiones del tribunal, multas y otra información sobre su caso.
Derecho a un abogado
Usted tiene derecho a que un abogado lo represente y puede contratar uno en cualquier momento.

Usted puede autorepresentarse.
Derecho a que un juez decida si usted puede pagar un abogado o pagar multas
Si usted quiere tener un abogado, pero no puede pagarlo, puede pedir que el juez decida si usted cumple con los requisitos para un abogado nombrado por el tribunal. Como parte del proceso, puede que tenga que completar documentos relacionados con sus finanzas. También puede pedir que el juez decida si usted es capaz de pagar las multas del tribunal o le concedan una sentencia alternativa. Como parte de este proceso, puede que tenga que completar documentos relacionados con sus finanzas.
No lo pueden meter a la cárcel por no pagar las multas o las costas a menos que el juez determine que usted tiene la capacidad para pagar pero no desea pagar o si las sanciones alternativas a la cárcel no son suficientes.
Derecho a un abogado nombrado por el tribunal Si usted demuestra que no puede pagar un abogado y la ciudad está tratando de meterlo en la cárcel, el tribunal proporcionará un abogado para que lo represente.
Derecho a solicitar un juez diferente
Usted puede solicitar un cambio de juez por cualquier motivo en un plazo de 10 (diez) días después de su declaración inicial. Si ya han transcurrido los 10 (diez) días, tiene que mostrar la causa por la cual se debe cambiar al juez. Además, un juez puede decidir que no puede atender el caso si tiene un conflicto de intereses en el caso o si el juez comparecerá como fiscal en un condado cercano donde el fiscal prestará servicio como juez.
PROCESO DEL JUICIO:
1. El caso está listo para ser escuchado por el juez. 2. Los testigos tienen que prestar juramento para testificar. 3. Los testigos de la ciudad explican su versión de lo que ocurrió.
4. Usted o su abogado pueden hacer preguntas a los

5. Usted puede testificar y llamar testigos para explicar su versión de lo que ocurrió.
