Jaclyn and Paige

 They are presided over by judicial officers called magistrates who are addressed as your worship  There are 165 local courts in NSW  No jury is used  The Local Court has criminal and civil jurisdictions and deals with the majority of criminal and summary prosecutions and civil matters (up to $60,000) in NSW.

 To hear and decide cases that involve summary offences eg.drinkdriving  To conduct committal hearings for indictable offences ( more serious offences ). Before the case can go to trial the details must be presented to a magistrate who has to decide whether or not there is a prima facie ( reasonable case ). If there is sufficient evidence to suggest it is a reasonable case, the case will go to trial in a District or Supreme court, if not the charges are dropped and the person is released.

 Bail court- the court can deny or grant bail based on whether they believe the person who committed the crime will not turn up for the hearing or is a threat to the community.  Civil case- the local court not only deals with criminal cases but civil cases that could include family, money or neighborly issues for example.
