Some disagreements a court may decide are whether a person is [[guilty]] of a [[crime]], who is the [[legal]] owner of property, or who the [[child]]ren of two [[divorce]]d [[parent]]s should live with. The system of courts that interprets and applies the law is commonly known as the [[judiciary]]. A court is usually located in a special building called a [[courthouse]]. Most countries have multiple courts to deal with different issues. For example, [[civil law|civil]] courts deal with private disputes between people or organizations, while [[criminal law|criminal]] courts deal with people who have been accused of crimes. == Types of courts == * [[Appellate court]] * [[Court-martial]] * [[Constitutional court]] * [[International court]] * [[Supreme court]] * [[Trial court]] {{law}} {{stub}} {{authority control}} [[Category:Courts (law)| ]]
