Consistory
A consistory is a type of ecclesiastical council charged with tasks of governing a religious organization. The term is also used within some non-religious organizations. Consistory courts are often involved in the administration of church business, especially in highly hierarchical churches, and historically took a major role in what we would now think to be secular law, such as probate, defamation, promises, and matrimony e.g. property settlement from divorce. In England the transfer of probate to a secular court, as an example, occurred in 1857 with the Court of Probate Act 1857.
