The court is the place where legal matters are presented, argued and settled by the person(s) hearing the case.
A trial is the hearing of a criminal matter to determine the innocence or guilt of a person charged with a criminal offence.

I think you mean between Court and Trial. You can go to Court without going to Trial, but if you go to Trial, you are going to Court. To go to Court could involve just the pleading of "Guilty" or "Not Guilty", a "Motion to Continue" or a request for many other things, that may include a request for a Trial. A Trial is either in front of Judge or Jury, depending on the charges and the place where the Trial is and laws governing it, and it is where one party is the Plaintiff and the other, the Defendant.
Depending on the type of Trial, it is up to the Plantiff, which in the case of criminal matters, is to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt; if for a Civil case, it would be by the preponderance of the evidence.

do you want a sample or for answers to be simple? A court is either a place ie. courthouse or a panel of judges ie the supreme court, and a trial is a procedure that happens in the court building or before the court panel.
