court of law n. any tribunal within a judicial system. Under English common law and in some states it was a court which heard only lawsuits in which damages were sought, as distinguished from a court of equity which could grant special remedies. That distinction has dissolved and every court (with the exception of federal bankruptcy courts) is a court of law. (See: court, equity, chancery) See also: bar, bench, court, forum, judicatory, judicature, tribunal Want to thank TFD for its existence?
