Court of 1st instance

Some governments do not have this kind of system, 1st, 2nd and 3rd instances, but if you are translating from a country that has, this is how it should be translated.

obrigada.
agree Donna Sandin : this is what I have used, believing it is clearer for the target audience, but the other alternative is NOT wrong....in translating an appeal, you may do well to use "lower court" to distinguish from the appellate court.
