English courts

English courts are part of the legal system in England and Wales, responsible for administering justice. They are structured in tiers, with the Magistrates' Court handling minor offenses and family matters, while Crown Courts deal with serious criminal cases. The High Court resolves civil disputes and hears appeals, while the Court of Appeal reviews decisions from lower courts. The Supreme Court is the highest court, providing final rulings on major legal issues. Judges interpret and apply the law, ensuring fair trials and upholding legal rights, while jury members can help decide the outcome in some cases.
