The Legal System covers the civil courts and other forms of dispute resolution, the criminal courts and lay people, the legal profession and other sources of advice and funding and the judiciary. After this we look at underlying principles of criminal liability, the courts: procedure and sentencing, liability in negligence and the courts: procedure and damages.
