LAW
AND
CRIMINAL
JUSTICE
SRISHTI
SURESH
Historically,
the
law
has
drawn
its
roots
from
a
variety
of
different
charters,
doctrines
and
political
opinions;
today,
however,
we
categorise
the
source
of
our
legal
system
into
statutes,
or
laws
passed
by
Parliament,
and
common
law.
Under
this
system,
judges
look
to
the
resolution
of
previous
–
but
similar
–
cases
to
the
ones
under
their
jurisdiction
before
they
make
an
affirmed
decision.
These
prior
resolutions
are
referred
to
as
judicial
precedents.
Whilst
these
remain
the
most
common
points
of
reference
in
terms
of
where
the
law
comes
from,
some
parts
of
the
law
can
also
be
traced
to
specific
international
agreements,
in
which
case
the
European
Court
of
Justice,
or
even
the
European
Court
of
Human
Rights,
will
have
intervened.
When
taking
a
case
to
court
for
the
first
time,
the
proceedings
will
be
carried
out
in
a
court
of
first
instance.
If
the
decision
of
the
court
is
unpopular,
an
appeal
court
may
then
potentially
review
the
judgement;
the
process
of
going
through
courts
of
appeal
follows
a
hierarchy
of
courts,
becoming
more
and
more
senior
until
the
case
is
presented
before
