Under the Constitution, county and city courts (maakohtud ja linnakohtud) and administrative courts (halduskohtud) are courts of first instance, circuit courts (ringkonnakohtud) are the second level, and the Supreme Court is the highest court. At present there are no separate city courts: the general courts of first instance are the county courts. (PS § 149)
