Justice courts are generally courts of limited jurisdiction and usually handle less serious criminal offenses or civil cases involving relatively small monetary claims. A number of states have justice courts so answering your question specifically is not possible without knowing the state you are inquiring about. CourtReference.com is a good site that describes the types of cases heard in each state and court.

Don't be surprised when cases have to be re-scheduled or continued.

Who is considered as fountain of justice in England?

The monarch is considered the fountain of justice. Historically the monarch would sit and hear appeals for justice in a court known as "The Court of the King Before the King Himself". Until Magna Carta, in 1215, the court sat where ever the monarch happened to be. It subsequently sat at Westminster Hall in London. This system evolved into The Court of King's Bench (or Court of Queen's Bench during the reign of a Queen) which could hear cases without the monarchs presence. This system was abolished in 1875 with the establishment of the High Court of Justice and the Queen's Bench Division of that court. .
