Abstract

A Court is a place where justice is administered or where atrial is held. Although it may be argued that this definition is deficient in the sense that courts are sometimes distinguished from other bodies such as tribunals, which are also concerns with settling legal disputes, however, the definition conveys the meaning intended for this work. This paper seeks to discuss the brief history of court system in Nigeria, its organization, jurisdictions, functions.
