The Provincial Court of Manitoba (French: Cour provinciale du Manitoba) is the lower trial court of the Province of Manitoba. It has mainly a criminal jurisdiction, as well as limited concurrent jurisdiction with the Court of King's Bench in matters of family law that originate outside of Winnipeg.[2]
It also hears all Youth Court cases in the province; all matters subject to Provincial Offences Act, such as those under The Highway Traffic Act and The Liquor Control Act; presides over inquests under The Fatality Inquiries Act; and reviews alleged police misconduct under The Law Enforcement Review Act.
Over 95% of all criminal cases in Manitoba take place in the Provincial Court.
Judges of the Provincial Court are appointed by Order-in-Council of the Province of Manitoba upon the recommendation of a Judicial Advisory Committee, which is composed of the Chief Judge, four citizens appointed by the provincial government, the President of the Law Society of Manitoba, the President of the Manitoba Bar Association, and a representative of the Provincial Court judges.
