- Common Law and Statute Law
- Common law is law set by precedent- decisions on previous cases
- Statute law is written law- decided by legislation.
A jury is 12 members of the public who hear the evidence in a case and decide on a verdict- guilty/ not guilty.

TRIAL at magistrates then crown.
Jury deliberation
Verdict
