A Crown Court is a type of court in the United Kingdom that deals with serious criminal cases. It handles offenses such as robbery, murder, and sexual assault, which are too severe for lower courts. The Crown Court is presided over by a judge and often includes a jury that decides on the verdict. Crown Courts are located in various cities across England and Wales. They are part of the broader judicial system, which includes other courts like the Magistrates' Court and the High Court. The decisions made in Crown Courts can be appealed to higher courts if necessary.
