Which of the following courts typically handles appeals from magistrate courts?

The Court of Appeals typically handles appeals from magistrate courts as this level of court is designed specifically to review decisions made by lower courts, including magistrate courts. This structure allows for a more detailed examination of the legal issues raised in those decisions without the necessity for the involvement of the state's highest court, the Supreme Court.

In most jurisdictions, including Idaho, the appeals process is designed to alleviate the caseload of the Supreme Court by channeling certain appeals through the Court of Appeals first. This allows for a more efficient processing of cases and maintains the Supreme Court's role as the ultimate arbiter of significant legal questions. Thus, when a decision from a magistrate court is challenged, the next level of judicial review, which is most often the Court of Appeals, ensures that the legal matters are adequately addressed before they potentially escalate to the Supreme Court.

Other courts mentioned have different roles. For instance, the Supreme Court generally handles the most critical cases that may set precedents or involve substantial public interest, while District Courts usually serve as trial courts for more serious cases and not specifically for appeals from magistrate courts.
