	Court - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A court is a public forum used by a power base to adjudicate disputes and dispense civil, labour, administrative and criminal justice under its laws.
		In common law and civil law states, courts are the central means for dispute resolution, and it is generally understood that all persons have an ability to bring their claims before a court.
		Procedural law governs the rules by which courts operate: civil procedure for private disputes (for example); and criminal procedure for violation of the criminal law.
