<h1>Courts exercise judicial authority through legal sanction, not voluntary submission, distinguishing them from arbitrators and tribunals.</h1> A court originally referred to the Sovereign's palace but evolved to mean the place where justice is administered and persons exercising judicial functions under sovereign authority. Not all tribunals are courts - true courts exercise jurisdiction through legal sanction rather than voluntary submission. Key distinguishing factors include requirements for public hearings and provisions preventing personally interested members from participating in decisions. Courts differ from arbitrators, club committees, and similar bodies that lack legal enforcement power. Various legal dictionaries define court as places where legal trials occur, bodies assembled to decide causes, and forums where justice is judicially administered.
