combined trial courts

My comment:

I work in a court in Colorado. We call them "combined" when there are county and district courts (both civil and criminal) in the same building. Primera Instancia basically means a trial court (as opposed to an appellate court).

Courts of First Instance (mixed in specialised competence)

My comment:

see this link:


The area of competence of the judicial courts is the district. However, courts may exist that have competence in respect of one or more districts or in respect of areas specially defined by law.




Courts of First Instance exist that have specialised and specific competence. Courts with specialised competence deal with specific matters, irrespective of the applicable form of proceeding; Courts having specific competence deal with matters determined according to the applicable type of proceeding; in justified cases, Courts having mixed specialised competence may be created
