North Dakota

Overview

• North Dakota is primarily a state-funded court system.   The county is responsible for district court facilities, but does not fund any of the district court operations.  North Dakota’s only limited jurisdiction court, the municipal courts, are funded by the cities.
• North Dakota’s budget was not reduced in FY09.  The Legislature increased the Judiciary’s budget for the 2010-2011 biennium by 22.4%.  This includes significant one-time spending for North Dakota’s new case management system.
