Court of Session (disambiguation)
A court of sessions is the name of a type of court in a number of countries which derive their legal system largely from English law. The name is, however, not of English, but Scottish origin. As many Scots were a part of the British colonial emigration, the name of this institution was familiar to them, and in various circumstances, it was adopted, at least nominally.
Following is a list of courts of sessions:
- Court of Session the Supreme Civil court of Scotland
- Court of Session (Pakistan), the main Criminal Court of Pakistan
- Court of Sessions (California)
- Sessions Court (India and Malaysia)
