Identify which of the courts are courts of first instance, and which are appeal courts.

Courts of first instance are where trials are first held. The court that will be used will depend on the seriousness of the offence. The courts of first instance include the Magistrates’ Courts and the Crown Court for criminal trials, and the County Courts and High Court for civil disputes.

Appeal Courts only hear appeals against decisions that have previously been made in the court of first instance. The major appeal courts in the UK are the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.
