〈美〉以调解方式代替诉讼解决纠纷的法庭，包括调处债务纠纷、婚姻纠纷，也指向有严重家庭问题的夫妇提供免费专业咨询的非司法公共机构，使有矛盾的双方在未作出有关婚姻关系的最后决定前有机会和解，以求和平解决争端，重归于好。无论咨询结果如何，大多数夫妻在咨询之后感觉有改善。其他服务内容包括：未达法定婚龄而需要法庭批准结婚的婚前咨询；法庭裁决的监护和探望权方面的咨询；解除婚姻关系后探望权的咨询。

Conciliation Court is also known as “small claims” court. General claims of $15,000 or less can be filed in Conciliation Court. Once you file a claim, you cannot later file another claim for more money related to the same event(s). Conciliation Court procedures are easier to follow and the filing fee is lower than at the District Court level. A person does not have to have a lawyer in Conciliation Court, but it may help you to talk to a lawyer to get advice about how the law applies to the facts of your case. A business or association may be represented by a non-lawyer such as an officer or manager only in Conciliation Court. If a business wants to appeal a Conciliation Court judgment to the District Court, then the law requires that the business be represented by a lawyer.

以下为相关例句，以加深对该术语的理解：

例句1

Common claims that may be heard in Conciliation Court include: claims by creditors for unpaid debts; claims by employees for unpaid wages; claims by tenants for return of security deposits, etc..

调节法庭可以审理的常见权利要求包括:债权人对未偿债务的索要；雇员对未付工资的索赔；租户要求退还保证金等。

例句2

Winning a case in Conciliation Court does not guarantee payment. You are responsible for collecting your judgment from the losing party. The Court does not collect the payment for you. Collecting a judgment can be difficult and may involve additional out-of-pocket expenses for filing fees and other costs.

在调节法庭胜诉并不保证付款。你有责任从败诉方那里收回判决款项。法院不为你收款。收回判决款项可能很困难，并可能涉及额外的自付费用，如申请费和其他费用。
