crownNel sistema legale inglese, la crown court è un tribunale penale che si sposta da una città all'altra. è formata da una giuria locale ed è presieduta da un giudice che si sposta assieme alla "court". Vi si discutono i reati più gravi, mentre dei reati minori si occupano le "magistrates' courts", presiedute da un giudice di pace, ma senza giuria. è il giudice di pace che decide se passare o meno un caso alla crown court.
