The manorial courts had jurisdiction over most legal cases on the manor. The most serious crimes were sent to royal courts for trial, but other crimes and disagreements were dealt with local, by the manorial court. The court was under the authority of the lord of the manor, and was administered by court officers. The legal system was common law. Records of manorial courts are not complete, and there is some disagreement as to whether there were two types, the court leet and the court baron, or whether these were the same thing.

There were two types of manorial courts, the court baron and the court leet.

The court baron was essentially a court dealing with matters other than crimes that met on the manor periodically to take care of whatever problems or disputes it could.

The court leet was a criminal court, also associated with a manor and also meeting periodically. It took care of minor crimes, with the trials of major crimes being done in royal courts.
