AS Law: The English System Mode of Trial Learning Outcomes: Be able to demonstrate understanding of issues relating to ‘mode of trial’ Be able to ‘solve a legal problem’ by applying understanding to a scenario Develop exam technique through collaboration and peer assessment

Question 1 In which court do all criminal cases start?

Answer 1 Magistrates’ Court.

Question 2 What is a summary offence?

Answer 2 Summary offences are petty crimes, which the Magistrates’ Court has the power to try.

Question 3 What is a triable-either-way offence?

Answer 3 Triable-either-way offences may require a sentence that is more severe than the Magistrates’ Court has the power to deal with. If the Magistrates’ Court accepts jurisdiction and finds the defendant guilty, it may send the case to the Crown Court for a judge to impose a sentence.

Question 4 What is an indictable offence?

Answer 4 An indictable offence is a crime that is too serious for the Magistrates’ Court to deal with. The Magistrates’ Court will commit the case to the Crown Court.

Question 5 Which type of cases are heard by a judge and a jury?

Answer 5 If the defendant is charged with a serious crime and he or she pleads not guilty, the cases will be tried by a judge and jury in the Crown Court.
