Magistrate Court
A Magistrate Court in Nigeria is a lower court that handles minor civil and criminal cases.
These courts are presided over by magistrates who have limited jurisdiction compared to higher courts.
Magistrate Courts are often the first point of contact for legal disputes and can deal with cases involving small claims, misdemeanours, preliminary hearings for serious offences, and other minor matters.
They play a crucial role in the Nigerian judicial system by providing accessible and efficient justice at the grassroots level.
