A more thorough explanation: A court of assize is a historical term referring to a court that was held periodically in each county of England and Wales to hear serious criminal cases and some civil cases. The court was presided over by a judge and a jury.
“Nisi prius” is a Latin term meaning “unless before” and refers to a court that hears civil cases before a jury. In modern legal practice, it typically refers to the court where a civil trial is held before a jury, as opposed to an appellate court.
Example: In the case of Smith v. Jones, the matter was brought before the court of assize and nisi prius for trial.
