A university court is an administrative body of a university in the United Kingdom and other countries. In most older universities of England and Wales, the court is part of the governance structure and acts as a forum for local stakeholders from government, industry and the community to interact with the university. In Scotland, the court is the university's supreme governing body, analogous to the council in other British universities. At Oxford and Cambridge universities, the court was a local law court.

Law court in the context of Manchester Assize Courts
The Manchester Assize Courts was a building housing law courts on Great Ducie Street in the Strangeways district of Manchester, England. It was 279Â ft (85Â m) tall and from 1864 to 1877 the tallest building in Manchester. Widely admired, it has been referred to as one of Britain's 'lost buildings'. It was severely damaged by wartime bombing in the Manchester Blitz, and then the remains were demolished in 1957.
