In British law, the Court of Chivalry was a court held before the Earl Marshal and the Lord High Constable; since the abolition of the office of the Lord High Constable, it has been conducted by the Earl Marshal alone.

[1] A court of honor can also be a military court to investigate and issue judgments concerning acts or omissions which are considered to be unbecoming to an "officer and a gentleman", but which do not rise to the level where they are considered crimes triable under military law.

The National Court of Honor is a unit in the organization which determines and decides on various important conferments for Scouts and Scouters.

[citation needed] In Scouts South Africa, a court of honour is held every four weeks,[6] normally at the beginning of a new month.

The Troop Scouter is the only adult leader regularly attending these meetings, and has the right to veto decisions.

The Troop Scouter generally only acts in an advisory role, allowing the Scouts themselves to make important decisions.
