APPRAISAL

Historical

Although records of this type are not typically preserved permanently, this series has permanent historical value as some of the last surviving representative documentation of work handled by the circuit courts throughout the state. The circuit courts operated in the state from 1978 - 1996, but because they generally handled minor civil cases, small claims, and misdemeanor criminal cases, the vast majority of the records of the circuit courts have not been appraised as having permanent value. Because these records from Rich County have survived, they stand in as evidence of the work of the circuit courts throughout the state.
