Hi Raymond,

Before I help you with the code, I advice you to go through the best practices for the triggers and how to bulkify them. It's really important, a little research will help you a lot.
As a general rule, always avoid SOQL in the for loop. 

Now, here is how you get the ID of the queue, 
trigger t1 on case (before insert, before update){ 

    Group q = [select Id from Group where Name = 'AU Lead Queue' and Type = 'Queue'];
    for(Case c : Trigger.new){
       if(c.Court_Process__c == 'NCT'){
           c.OwnerId = q.Id;
       }
    }
}

and also you can paste the code here via 'Add a code sample' :-).

Hi Raymond,

You need first query the record Id of your 'NCT Queue' and then assign that id to owner id field of ur case.
//select Id from Group where Name = 'NCT Queue' and Type = 'Queue'
.
.
cas.OwnerId = queue.id
.
.

Please mark this post green if it helps. Cheers, Dev
