One of the municipalities that make up the judicial district, usually the largest or the one that deals with the highest number of legal matters, is the seat of one or more courts of first instance and instruction. The remaining municipalities of the district have magistrates' courts.
In addition to their primary function, judicial districts are also the constituencies for the election of provincial councils.
