Rhode Island divides its five counties into four Superior Court jurisdictions: Kent, Washington, Newport, and Providence/Bristol (with Providence/Bristol comprising one jurisdiction). Rhode Island's unified state court system, the Superior Court, has original jurisdiction in all of Providence County’s felony proceedings, in civil suits where claims exceed $10,000, and in matters of equity. The Superior Court also hears appeals on civil and criminal cases from the Providence County District Court. (Civil suits with claims from $5,000-$10,000 may be heard by the Superior Court or Providence County District Court.) Any appeal from a decision rendered in Superior Court is taken directly to the Rhode Island Supreme Court.

The Fruit Hill Neighborhood Association works to raise money to restore their region in the same way.
