Sorry for the delay, I just took my first trip to London! However, I am ever so delighted to sound like I know what I'm talking about! "Nisi prius" isn't really a word used very often, but it generally means a trial court, or a court of first resort. This is where facts are presented, as opposed to appellate courts, where the court will only review issues of law. In other words, when a lawsuit is commenced, it is at a court of nisi prius.
