  Saint  Olave’s  Law  Society  Journal   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   Supre ??$4?
