The most "cost effective" (least expensive) way to solve legal disputes is:

This member of the courtroom "presides over cases and makes rulings based on evidence presented;" in some cases decides the verdict.

The FIRST court to hear a dispute is:

This court "reviews decisions of lower courts to determine if an error of law was made during trial."

This member of the court "acts on behalf of the county or state in prosecuting those believed to have broken the law."

These members of the court are "citizens that are called upon to serve on juries in both criminal and civil trials. The jury's responsibility is to listen to testimony and arguments made by each side."

The highest court of the land is:

This court hears "Minor Criminal Offenses" (Infractions), "Small Claims cases" ($15,000 or less), and "Preliminary Hearings"
