The Legal System

Here is a picture of the basic court structure in England and Wales. 

The Magistrates, Crown, County and High Courts all hear trials and decide on the original outcomes for each case whether it be civil or criminal.
Appeals will follow to the Court of Appeal, and if the case is seen as a matter of public importance it may even reach the Supreme Court.
In very special cases, cases can be appealed to the European Court of Human Rights or the European Court of Justice.
