A Parish Court is a local court that typically handles minor civil and criminal cases within a specific parish or district. It often deals with matters such as small claims, traffic violations, and family law issues. The jurisdiction and functions of parish courts can vary by country or state, but they generally aim to provide accessible justice at the community level. In some places, they may also serve as a first point of contact for legal disputes before escalating to higher courts.
