courts of law

Courts of law are places where legal disputes are resolved by applying established rules and laws. They involve a judge, who interprets the law, and sometimes a jury, which helps decide the outcome based on evidence presented. Courts hear various cases, including criminal cases (where the government charges someone with breaking the law) and civil cases (disputes between individuals or organizations). Their primary role is to ensure justice is served by determining the facts, applying relevant laws, and issuing legally binding decisions or rulings.
