It was the original trial by jury across England and parts of France. Originally, a jury of justices would travel a circuit around the county every 7 years. Later, the Magna Carta established a system in which assizes were held annually in every county, leading to the season of the assizes. It dealt with the most serious of crimes. They were abolished in 1971. (The editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica)
The modern equivalent of a court of assizes is a criminal court.
