Courts go back a very long time and have been an important part in setting laws.

 

What is a court?

A court is the place where people go to sort out a problem.

It could be because someone has done
something wrong and broken the law, such as stealing from a shop.

It could be because people need help to make a decision, such as a dispute between neighbours.
