Sector Court

The Sector Courts are the general trial courts for the Galactic Republic. Each sector under the control of the Republic has a sector court, and particularly populous and highly trafficked planets often had a sector court that was responsible only for that planet. The sector courts handled all civil and criminal cases involving the laws of the Galactic Republic.

Contrary to the beliefs of many who had little dealing with the courts, planetary courts were not part of the same legal system, and cases involving planetary laws could not be appealed up to the sector courts.
