Part One: Legal System
(Including Session 1)

英国法律制度简介
英国法律的主要特征简单概况如下：（1）英国法律的基础是普通法的传统，它是几百年来由法官们通过判例而发展起来的一种“法官造法”制度，先例判决是英国法律制度的一个重要渊源；（2）法官在发展判例法和解释议会的制定法的含义方面发挥了重要作用。（3）法院的审理程序是控辩式，法官不调查案情，只是根据双方当事人提供给法庭的证据作出判决。法官通常不调查事实和收集证据，在法官眼里，只用证据，没有事实。
一、法院体系
英国的法院体系除了各种法院和治安官法庭外，还有许多具有准司法权的裁判所、委员会等，分别根据制定法的授权，专门处理某一方面的争议。
具有制定判例的能力：
上议院－－英国法院体系中，实际上的最高法院是作为终审法院的上议院。上议院享有民事和刑事的上诉终审权。
上诉法院－－The Court of Appeal，设刑事庭和民事庭，负责审理上诉案件。
高等法院－－The High Court，设王座庭，大法官庭和家事庭，对高等法院的判决不服的，可向上诉法院上诉。
不具有制定判例的能力：
王冠法院－－Crown Court，分不同辖区设立的刑事法院，目前唯一实行陪审制度的英国法院。
