The answer is: trial court.

Explanation for each option:

  • Supreme Court: This is typically the highest court in a jurisdiction, which primarily hears appeals and has the final say on legal matters. It is not the first court to hear a case.

  • Trial Court: This is the correct answer. A trial court is the first court to hear a case. It is where the case is initially presented, evidence is examined, and a verdict is reached.

  • Advisory Court: This is not a standard term used to describe a court that hears cases. Advisory opinions may be given by some courts, but they do not constitute a type of court that hears cases.

  • Appellate Court: This court reviews the decisions of lower courts, such as trial courts, to determine if there were any legal errors. It is not the first court to hear a case.
