I’m going to give the similarities and differences between judge’s layers,
magistrates, the jury, barristers etc. So, I’m going to discuss how they
are different and similar from each other in the court and also how they
are similar and different overall.
Similarities:
The similarities between a judge and a magistrate is that they both hear
cases and ultimately decide on the sentence to give the person who is
being charged even though a judge is considered higher than a magistrate
and they deal with more serious cases they both give the sentences that
they think are right and are suitable for the case in which they are
presented with.
Another similarity is that the jury and the magistrates are volunteers and
are not getting paid for the work that they are doing and they are both
lay personal and they both get help and advice from people with legal
experience in the court when they are in a trial for example the clerk may
help the magistrate same with the jury the judge or someone else with
legal experience may help them understand something within the trial if
needed.
Furthermore, another similarity is that lawyers and barristers have very
similar roles within the court when they are working on a trial so what I
mean by this is that a lawyer defends there client and tries to convince
the judge and jury that they are innocent or give them a lighter sentence
if they pleaded guilty similarly the barrister does the exact same thing
but works on behalf of the solicitor and client and they also plead to the
judge and jury that there client is not guilty.
A similarity between the judge and jury is that when in court the judge
and jury are the ones who everyone try to convince that the person on
trial is either guilty or not guilty depending on which side you’re on,
furthermore, even though the jury are lay personal and the judge isn’t
