Which code does this activity belong in?
NAICS 922110 covers the operation of civilian courts of law where judicial proceedings are held and legal disputes are adjudicated. This code is distinct from Legal Counsel and Prosecution, which handles prosecutors and legal advisors who present cases before courts rather than presiding over them. Courts also differ from Correctional Institutions, which confine individuals after sentencing, and from Parole Offices and Probation Offices, which supervise individuals outside of confinement following court decisions. Sheriffs' offices are classified in Courts only when they perform court functions rather than other law enforcement activities.
