Correctional courts try persons suspected of having committed one or more offenses. The nature of the offense varies but may include assault and battery, involuntary injury, involuntary manslaughter, sexual assault, abuse of vulnerability, moral or sexual harassment, cyberbullying, forgery and use of forged documents, etc.

This procedure is technical and the consequences can be very serious, both for defendants and civil parties. It is therefore strongly recommended to be assisted by a lawyer experienced in this type of procedure.
