Note from asker:
| Hi Miss Kraus, Thanks for your suggestion. The name of the person is not really Miguel Feliciano. I use a different name to protect my client's confidentiality. I think it must be different Miguel Feliciano. Is your suggestion appropriate for American English? Please let me know. |

I found no reference whatsoever confirming that Court is used in this context. Justice of the Peace stands for this type of court. Besides, the links I´ve come across only use this term for a court (it´s´the office of judges of peace (Friedensrichter ! )
