DeleteGood question. Home Court in Humboldt Court short speak refers to one of the four courts th where a particular criminal case is assigned to go through the judicial process. Whether it a misdemeanor or a felony, each court has certain alphabets assigned and all cases with the last name go to that courtroom. Courtroom 8 is an early resolution court. If cases dont resolve in that court, they are assigned to the home court.
