It involves an investigative official report (Proces Verbale) and sworn statement given to the Justice of the Peace (Juge de Paix, Magistrat) I know the Juge de Paix and Magistrat but wasn't sure about the Tribunal de Paix since in the United States there isn't a Tribunal de Paix

What sort of case is involved? Adoption, civil rights?
Kim Metzger May 7, 2005:
Merci bien, Karine.

Tibunal de Paix Sorry guys first time really asking a question on Kudoz. The Tribunal de Paix I was asking about is in Haiti. And the sentence reads Le Tribunal de Paix de la Section Sud de Port-au-Prince
writeaway May 7, 2005:
Please provide more context-a whole sentence would be nice.
writeaway May 7, 2005:
What country is the Tribunal de Paix in ?

Justice of the Peace

This came to mind, but I'm really not at all sure of legal terminology.

neutral writeaway : we all know that justice of the peace exists-the idea of refs is to show how this ties in with the French

Sometimes I find that the text surrounding links from a Google search; they give me ideas for other terms to search for (for example, one of these links mentions a "Justice of the Peace Court", and this is why I thought it was relevant.

Police Court (US)

It's the same as a tribunal de police. In UK it's a Magistrates Court, in US it's a Police Court (ref: Le Docte).
I found an explanation on the web:

Les tribunaux de simple police

Les tribunaux de simple police ou tribunaux de paix constituent la dernière instance inférieure du système judiciaire haïtien. Il y a un tribunal de simple police dans presque chaque commune. Il faut souligner que les tribunaux de paix est secondé par les conseillers d'administration de la section communale selon l'esprit de la constitution haïtienne du 29 mars 1987.

On peut compter plus de 170 tribunaux de paix pour toute la république d'Haïti. Par contre, dans les grandes villes où l'on retrouve une très forte densité de population, on peut identifier quatre (4) tribunaux de paix en moyenne. Chaque tribunal de paix est équipé de deux juges : un juge titulaire et un suppléant, un greffier et une secrétaire.
