In Judaism, the priestly court (beit din shel kohanim, Hebrew: בית דין של כהנים; also translated as the beit din of the priests or Court of the Priests) was a court of Jewish law, composed of priests descended from Aaron, which operated at the Temple in Jerusalem and oversaw matters related to the priesthood and Temple rituals. The priestly court coexisted with the Sanhedrin, which was generally the legal authority for non-Temple matters.
