Crown Court (United Kingdom)

Crown Court is a key part of the criminal justice system in the United Kingdom. It handles serious criminal cases, such as theft, assault, and murder, which are beyond the jurisdiction of lower courts. These courts have judges and juries, where the jury ensures that the accused receives a fair trial by deciding guilt or innocence. Crown Courts also hear appeals from Magistrates' Courts. They are located across England and Wales, ensuring that serious cases are dealt with appropriately and justly within the legal framework.
