The Presbyterian Church in Canada is governed by
a system of four church courts. The one in the local
congregation is called the session, there are then regional
courts called Presbytery and Synod and then the national
governing body which is called the General Assembly.

Yes Canadians still have multiple "Church courts", also called "courts of the church".

The Presbyterian Church in Canada is governed by a system of four "Church Courts".

The one (1) in the local congregation is called the session,
there are then two regional courts called:
(2) Presbytery and
(3) Synod
and then the
(4) National governing body which is called the General Assembly church court.

I know for a fact that marriage courts exists, but I'm pretty sure we don't have any church courts. I'm not exactly positive on this one.

Church Law is called Canon Law;
this concerns matters such as discipline of clergy,
& usually a marriage tribunal to validate marriages.
