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.

Missouri Constitution and are part of the circuit

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.

attorney represent you. You may represent yourself.

fines
If you want an attorney, but cannot afford one, you can ask that the judge decide

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 not be put in jail for failure to pay fines or costs unless the judge finds

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.
