Indigenous Courts
Indigenous courts are sentencing courts. This means people must have already pled guilty or have been found guilty to go to this court. They are designed to support the rehabilitation of Indigenous offenders, redprovincial-court-indigenous-court-bcuce the likelihood of reoffending, and repair the harm done to the community. Through a collaborative process involving the offender, members of the community, the Crown and Defence counsel, and the judge, the Indigenous Courts come up with a healing plan. These courts have the option of using a variety of sentencing options, including both common law sentencing options such as jail and probation as well as Indigenous traditions such as attending sweat lodges and reconnecting with their community.

Appeals
Summary offences or sentences from Provincial Court in BC are appealed to the Supreme Court.

Indictable offence convictions or sentences are appealed to the Court of Appeal.
