Court Quizzes & Trivia

Courtroom dramas and legal thrillers are popular entertainment these days. Most of us know something about a courtroom, but do we know as much as we think we do? We hear the words lawyer, attorney, barrister, and solicitor frequently, but is there any real differences in meaning?

Why do some cases get heard by a jury, while others are decided by a judge? What does an appellate court do? There are several different courts in most jurisdictions - juvenile, family, small claims, magistrate, criminal, and others. What kind of cases go to each? Are there cases that could go to more than one of them, and if so, how are these situations decided? It doesn’t take a professional lawyer to know all about court procedures! Take some of our quizzes and prove that you have what it takes!
