===Judicial system=== [[File:Washington County Courthouse, Fayetteville, Arkansas.jpg|thumb|Washington County bought the First South Centre in 1994, and it became the Washington County Courthouse, replacing the [[Washington County Courthouse (Arkansas)|previous structure]], which was built in 1905.]] The Fayetteville District Court is located at 176 S Church Avenue in downtown Fayetteville, and is presided over by the district judge, who is elected in a citywide election. The court handles criminal, civil, small claims, and traffic matters within the city limits. Beyond city court, Fayetteville is under the jurisdiction of the Fayetteville Department of Washington County District Court. The Washington County District Court was a local district court, meaning it is presided over by part-time judges who may privately practice law.<ref>{{cite web |title= Judicial Directory |url= https://courts.arkansas.gov/sites/default/files/Judicial%20Directory.pdf |pages= 10β21 |date= November 4, 2015 |access-date= December 6, 2015 |publisher= State of Arkansas |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20151204100444/https://courts.arkansas.gov/sites/default/files/Judicial%20Directory.pdf |archive-date= December 4, 2015 }}</ref> The court became a state district court and is presided over by a full-time judge as of 2017.<ref>{{cite web|title=Arkansas District Court |url=http://www.arlegalservices.org/system/files/FS-Arkansas%20District%20Courts.pdf |date=December 2013 |publisher=Arkansas Legal Services Partnership |access-date=December 6, 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222074942/http://www.arlegalservices.org/system/files/FS-Arkansas%20District%20Courts.pdf |archive-date=December 22, 2015 }}</ref> Superseding that jurisdiction is the [[Arkansas Circuit Courts|4th Judicial Circuit Court]], which covers Washington and Madison counties.
