# Is the 6th Division the same as Superior Court?

No. The 6th Division District Court handles misdemeanor DUI cases (first and second offense). Felony DUI charges, including third offense and DUI causing serious bodily injury or death, are heard at Providence Superior Court at the Licht Judicial Complex. Both courthouses are in downtown Providence but they are different courts with different judges and procedures.
