	Court - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In common law countries, the courts are the central means for dispute resolution, and it is generally understood that all persons have a right to bring their claims before a court.
		In other courts, decisions of both fact and law are made by the judge or judges; this is particularly common in appellate courts where juries are unusual in most jurisdictions.
		The extent of a court's power (authority) to hear the various matters which come before its "jurisdiction" – may stem from a provision of a written constitution, from an enabling statute or, for example in English law, it may be inherent, deriving from the common-law origin of the court.
