Which courts do provinces have?

  1. Only trial courts

  2. Only supreme courts

  3. Appeal and trial courts, among others

  4. Federal courts only

The correct answer is: Appeal and trial courts, among others

Provinces in Canada have jurisdiction over both appeal and trial courts, as well as other types of courts. This includes courts such as family courts, small claims courts, and provincial courts. All of these courts fall under the jurisdiction of the provinces and are not exclusive to one level of court. Therefore, the options that state only trial courts (A) or only supreme courts (B) are incorrect. Additionally, while provinces do have jurisdiction over federal courts (D), this option is incorrect as it only lists one type of court, rather than the range of courts that fall under provincial jurisdiction.
