High Court
High court usually refers to the superior court of a country or state. In some countries, it is the highest court (for example, Australia). In others, it is positioned lower in the hierarchy of courts (for example, England and India). A person who presides as a judge in such a court may be called a 'High Court judge'.

gollark: Proof of work is rather awful because it actively requires burning compute for no value, but all the alternatives are really bad too.
gollark: There are ways around this but they don't seem to have helped.
