Untitled

Since the "Constitution" section only contains one article why make it a dropdown at all? Perhaps it'd be better just to be able to click on "Constitution" and go straight to Constitution of Belgium without worrying about show/hide?

Correctional court

The correctional court is not part of the court of first instance, the correctional court is a penal court and 1st instance is a civilian court the third is the juvenile court all three are at arrondissement level --DerekvG (talk) 11:28, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Judiciary

I made some changes to the 'judiciary' section:

The Constitutional Court and the Council of State are not part of the judicial order; they are special jurisdictions that fall strictu sensu outside of the judiciary.
The courts of assizes can be classified as trial courts instead of appellate courts, since they adjudicate cases in first instance.
The civil tribunals, correctional tribunals and juvenile and family tribunals form together the 'tribunals of first instance'.
Courts of which there exist more than one are usually not capitalized (e.g. 'court of appeal', 'Court of Cassation').
The lower courts are best called 'tribunals', as that is literally what they're called in French; the name 'court' is rather reserved for the higher courts, such as the courts of appeal.
It's not necessary and potentially confusing to use the term 'federal judiciary', as there are no other judiciaries in Belgium on a Region or Community level. It's best to just call it the 'judiciary', without the word 'federal'.
