Clerks of Court organize and maintain records of court hearings and trials. They process civil and criminal cases, and file indictments, verdicts, and other pertinent information. When cases are appealed, Clerks prepare appellate records. #FLClerks #CourtRecords #CaseProcessing #LegalDocuments #AppellateRecords

In England and Wales, offences are categorised into summary offences, either-way offences, and indictable only offences to determine the appropriate venue for the case to be dealt with. The seriousness of the offence influences whether it is handled in the Magistrates’ Court 🏢 or the Crown Court 🏰.

Did You Know? The U.S. is divided into 94 federal judicial districts, each with its own district court. These courts handle a wide range of cases, including civil and criminal matters, reflecting the diversity and complexity of federal law. Each district serves as the trial court for its region, ensuring that federal cases are adjudicated locally. This structure allows for more efficient and accessible justice administration. #FederalCourts #Judiciary #BestUSLawyers

The U.S. judicial system serves two main purposes and although we know any institution in this country is built on the inherent assumption of white supremacy, understanding how these institutions work gives us power. On paper, the judicial system functions to... 1) Fairly administer justice against those who have put others in harm's way 2) Settle disputes between two people who cannot reach an agreement by themselves. This is the basic difference between CRIMINAL COURT and CIVIL COURT.

#opinion Instead of repeating this multiple times, the Hon’ble court should enquire as to why every other lay person is opting to settle civil disputes using criminal law. The answer, the Hon’ble court may find, is that 1) Civil courts are incredibly slow. Comparatively, the criminal courts are faster in their adjudication of disputes. “Justice delayed is justice denied” right? Well, lay persons know that as well and have found a shortcut to ensure that justice is not delayed in their cases. 2) The aggrieved party is called upon to pay hefty court fees in civil cases as compared to criminal matters where court fees are almost nil. 3) What the courts and legislators have deemed to be “purely civil” disputes are many a times, from the POV of a lay person, actions that deserve penal consequences. When people are forced to approach the Indian courts which are a giant waste of time, energy and most of all..money.., they want more than just “justice”; they also want to settle scores with other party who forced them to abandon their routine life to come to court. To take an idealistic stand by saying that the legal process must only be used for seeking “justice” is being ignorant of the emotions of the people that are, due to no fault of theirs, entangled in litigation without an end in sight. 4) The litigation arena is less about merits of a case and more about the capacity for litigating. If a party who’s in the wrong can afford a great lawyer and has the resources to litigate for the long term, many individuals on the other end would rather let it go than keep up with the fight because then the process itself would be so draining that the end result, even if it were in their favour, wouldn’t matter much. As a hack to this issue within the civil law realm, criminal law offers an escape because the victim has to do very little once the crime has been reported. For a lay person, the false hope that a criminal matter will end in justice is still better than the civil matter that sucks them dry and forces them to stop midway. I have heard that in the olden days, kings disguised as lay persons would roam around the streets of their own kingdom and would interact with ordinary people to better understand the situation on the grassroots and this would help them frame better policies and take better decisions for their kingdom. To understand why people choose criminal law remedies in civil matters, perhaps the SC also needs to go beyond their scope of work and connect with the POV of an ordinary litigant. Perhaps then they will know why it works the way it works and we will have more fluid legal precedents in the present context.
