Editing Comarca (section)

===Present===
In Brazil, Portugal, and some other countries of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries, the ''comarca'' now is the basic territorial division in the [[judicial]] system. It corresponds to the territorial area of jurisdiction of a [[court]] of first instance.

The ''comarca'' may correspond to a [[municipality]] or group several small municipalities together. Presently, in Brazil, there are 2,680 ''comarcas''. A judiciary organization reform implemented in Portugal in 2014 reduced the number of ''comarcas'' from 231 to 23.

According to the new judicial division of 2015, [[Angola]] will be again subdivided into 60 ''comarcas'', each with a court of first instance. The courts of ''comarca'' will replace the previous provincial and municipal courts.

Comarca is also the name of a suburb of [[Luanda]], the capital of Angola.
