Rhode Island District Court operates four divisions covering all five counties. The Sixth Division (Providence County) sits at the J. Joseph Garrahy Judicial Complex at 1 Dorrance Plaza in Providence. The Second Division covers Newport and Bristol Counties. The Third Division covers Kent County. The Fourth Division covers Washington County. Your case will be heard in the division covering the location of the alleged offense, not where you live. The Sixth Division in Providence is by far the busiest, handling over half of all Rhode Island criminal filings each year. The law office of Rory Munns sits at 127 Dorrance Street, directly across from the Sixth Division courthouse.
