Talk:Superior Court of the District of Columbia

Content
From the article:
 * In Superior Court, the government is represented by the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia or the D.C. Office of Attorney General depending on the nature and severity of the crime or civil matter.

The entire article appears to be copy-pasted from the Superior Court of the District of Columbia website. Indeed, the vast majority of the links provided are external ones, leading to the appropriate pages of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia website. I recommend a complete revamping of this article, unfortunately, I don't have the expertise to do it myself.

However, I suggest someone start by defining more specifically how the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia and the D.C. Attorney General share jurisdiction. After all, "depending on the nature and severity of the crime or civil matter" could mean almost anything. From going to the respective websites of both authorities, it appears to me that the United States Attorney has jurisdiction over felonies, and the District of Columbia Attorney General has jurisdiction over misdemeanor charges and civil matters. However, is it really that cut-and-dried? Just saying. —MicahBrwn (talk) 07:42, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I have marked the article as per your concerns above.  (The court is a local government organization, but as it was established by Congress and its judges are appointed by the President, I am not sure whether the court is considered an organ of U.S. government for copyright purposes.)  In answer to your question, the United States Attorney has jurisdiction over all felonies and many misdemeanors, and the District of Columbia corporation counsel (now known as the attorney general) has jurisdiction over other misdemeanors (mainly criminal traffic cases) (but because I do not have a source right in front of me at the moment, am not adding this to the article).  69.140.152.55 (talk) 20:38, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
