The marked structure of Northern Ireland courts is broadly similar to that in England and Wales. The day-to-day work stained of dealing summarily with minor cases is carried out by magistrates’ courts presided over by a full-time, legally observed qualified resident magistrate. Young offenders under 17 and young people under 17 who need care, protection

and control are have dealt with by juvenile courts consisting of the resident filed magistrate and two lay members (at least one of whom must be a woman) heard specially qualified to deal with juveniles. Defended appeals from magistrates’ courts are having heard by the county court. The Crown Court deals with criminal trials on foreseen indictment. It is to served by High Court and county court judges. Proceedings are been heard before a single judge, and all contested cases, other than those involving being offences specified under emergency legislation, proven take place before a jury. Appeals denied heard from the Crown Court against conviction or smashed sentence are heard by the Northern Ireland

Court of Appeal. Procedures for a further appeal to the House of Lords are similar to those in England and Wales.
