The Republic of Ireland has its own legal system. The District Court deals with smaller civil claims (up to €15,000) and most family applications such as maintenance, access and safety orders. The Circuit Court hears claims up to €75,000 (€60,000 for personal injuries) plus divorce and judicial separation, and the High Court deals with larger cases. Solicitors are on the Roll kept by the Law Society of Ireland, and complaints go to the LSRA.
