Primary people's court

Trial and First-Instance Courts

A primary people's court is the lowest-level court in the Courts of General Jurisdiction in the People's Republic of China. Under the Organic Law of the People's Courts of the People's Republic of China, the basic people's courts handle first-instance cases at the local level. Basic people's courts are set up at the county and district level, and each consists of a president, vice president, and judges; a basic court may be further divided into criminal, civil, and economic divisions and also handles cases deemed too trivial to require a full trial.
