'''1871:''' Superior Courts had concurrent civil jurisdiction with the Circuit Court in the county until after World War II. Some Superior Courts were established in cities away from the county seat and, beginning in 1899, also had probate jurisdiction. These courts were established as Circuit Courts’ case loads became too heavy for one judge. (Marion County, 1871; Tippecanoe, 1875; Allen and Vanderburg, 1877; Vigo, 1881; Madison, Laporte, Lake and Porter, 1895; Grant and Howard, 1897). Several other counties had Superior Courts prior to 1920, and Lake and Marion had several such courts. Superior Court Order Books and Complete Order Books through 1920 have been microfilmed for many counties. If a county has had both a Circuit and Superior Court, consult Order Books, case files, and related records for both courts. | '''1871:''' Superior Courts had concurrent civil jurisdiction with the Circuit Court in the county until after World War II.
