Trial Court

Explanation:

Trial court is the court where a particular case is filed first. Both the parties present their versions of what happened. A jury decides based on the evidence provided by the parties.

It is the first court. Decisions made by trial courts are reviewed by Appellate courts if either party was not satisfied by the verdict passed by trial court. Civil cases such as divorce and accidents are heard in trial courts.

Amanda can file her initial lawsuit in trial court since Josh is her neighbor. If Josh resided in any other state, then Amanda would have to file her lawsuit in federal court.
