Cahul County Tribunal was established on October 9, 1918, by the decree of the Romanian government No. 2770. The county tribunal adjudicated for crimes in accordance with civil and criminal codes, with the exception of crimes that were in the jurisdiction of the rural magistrate's court. The Cahul district tribunal was divided into 2 departments - criminal and civil one. In 1926, the 3rd division was formed - commercial one, as well as the notarial office. In 1928, a guardianship department was formed, and in 1932 - the 4th division. At the tribunal, there was a prosecutor's office, which consisted of the chief prosecutor and two or three of his deputies. The Caрul County Tribunal was considering a case if the crime was committed on the territory of the county, or the offender resided there or was caught at the crime scene
