Trial court is the court where the actual trial takes place. The trial court may also conduct some pretial proceedings. This is in contrast to the appellate court which hears appeals. Hope this helps.

A trial court is any court that tries a person for a crime or a civil complaint, with or without a jury. It is usually the first court to handle a criminal case after a warrant or indictment has been issued.

They are your local court of general jurisdiction that can hear any type of case.
