The UK has three different judicial systems, one for England and Wales, one for Northern Ireland and one for Scotland.

English law is divided into Criminal, for serious crimes, and Civil, for disputes between people and organisations. For the former, a person is considered innocent until proven guilty, the prosecution will attempt to prove guilt and the defence will try to prove innocence. A jury of the defendant's peers will decide if they are guilty or not, and the judge will then pass sentence. For the latter, it is the judge who decides which party is At Fault based on the evidence both sides present.
