There are two types of court which hear criminal cases in England and Wales. These are the Magistrates’ Courts and the Crown Courts. Lay magistrates hear cases in the Magistrates’ Courts. A jury decides whether the defendant is guilt or not guilty in the Crown Courts. Appeals from the Magistrates’ Courts are usually made to the Crown Courts, but it is possible to appeal on a point of law to the High Court (Administrative Court). Appeals from the Crown Court are made to the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division). There are two types of court which hear civil cases in England and Wales. These are the County Court and the High Court. The High Court has three divisions, the Chancery Division, the Queen’s Bench Division and the Family Division. An Appeal from the high court is made to the Court of Appeal (Civil Division). A further appeal can be made to the Supreme Court. This is the highest court in the England and Wales legal system.
