According to Britannica; assize, in law means a session, or sitting, of a Court of Justice and historically represents trial by jury. The term was historically applied to certain Courts in England and France.

This practice, which originated in England was adopted in Guyana when we became a Colony. It was received as part of our common law and later incorporated into our legislation by Statute. Assizes are held in our three Counties; Demerara, Essequibo, and Berbice.
