Which of the following courts are examples of courts with limited jurisdiction?

  1. Michigan circuit court

  2. Probate courts

  3. Federal bankruptcy courts

  4. (B) and (C) only

The correct answer is: (B) and (C) only

Circuit courts, such as the Michigan circuit court (option A), have general jurisdiction and can hear a wide range of cases. Probate courts (option B) are courts with limited jurisdiction, meaning they can only hear cases that deal with the transfer of property, adoption, and wills. Federal bankruptcy courts (option C) are specialized courts with limited jurisdiction that deal exclusively with bankruptcy cases. Therefore, the correct answer is (B) and (C) only.
