The Judicial System of the UK
Prosecution in the United Kingdom is initiated and conducted by the police. Each town has a magistrates’ court commonly known as a Police Court which hears the less serious cases. Such courts consists of two to seven magistrates known as justices of the peace. They are often without legal training and knowledge of the law. In some cases they are advised by a Clerk of the Court*, a trained lawyer. A magistrates court is in session twice each week. If a person breaks the law he must be brought first before a magistrates’ court which has the power to fine people up to 100 pounds and to send them to prison for up to six months. If a case is too serious for magistrates they hear the material of the case and then send the case to a higher court called the Crown Court where the judge and jury hear the case. Appeals against the sentences given in the Crown Court are sent to the court of Appeals. Appeals on the cases which are of great public importance are dealt with by the House of Lords – the final court of appeals. Clerk of the Court* – секретарь суда (должностное лицо, осу- ществляющее всю административную деятельность суда)

Great Britain
The official name of Great Britain is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Britain as a part of the United Kingdom consists of the following parts: England, Scotland and Wales. 39 The United Kingdom covers over 244, 000 square kilometers. Its population amounts more than 58 million people. The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy. This means that it has a monarch, a king or a queen, as its Head of State. The monarch can reign only with the support of Parliament which consists of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Parliament as a central government is responsible for deciding national policy, but many public services are provided by local government. The UK is divided into administrative areas known as ‘counties’ and each county has a county town where the offices of the local government are located. Local government is responsible for organizing such services as education, libraries, police and fine services road building and many others. The British government, in the general sense of the word, comprises all the three powers: legislative, executive and judicial. The United Kingdom has an unusual constitution which partly unwritten and it consists of:
● the laws passed in Parliament, which are called Acts of Parliament.
● common Law decisions made by judges in the past.
● various unwritten conventions. All these things can be changed at any time by new Acts of Parliament, by the judges, and by acceptance of new conventions. Thus the British lawyers rely mostly on customs, traditions and precedents.
