Court Baron

A Court Baron is a local court historically used in England, primarily for managing issues related to landownership and local rights. It was led by the Lord of the Manor or an appointed official, handling matters like tenants' disputes, fines, and administrative concerns affecting the manor. The court operated alongside the king’s courts but addressed smaller, community-focused issues. It played a key role in local governance before the development of modern justice systems. While largely abolished or transformed, the term is still used historically or ceremonially in certain contexts today.
