Magistrates' courts are a key part of the criminal justice system and 95% of cases are completed there.
In addition magistrates' courts deal with many civil cases e.g. family matters, liquor licensing and betting and gaming.
For over 600 years Justices of the Peace have held courts in order to punish law breakers, resolve local disputes and keep order in the community.
