Courts of Peace

Courts of Peace are judicial bodies that handle minor legal matters, such as disputes over small debts, property boundaries, or minor criminal offenses. They provide a quicker, less formal setting than regular courts, making justice accessible and efficient for everyday issues. These courts typically involve a judge or magistrate who listens to both parties and makes a fair decision without the need for extensive legal procedures. They are designed to resolve small disputes promptly, helping prevent escalation and reducing the workload of higher courts.
