Useful Links

Did you know that there are other useful websites which you may wish to visit.

NI Direct brings together lots of information on government departments and agencies and their website provides useful information on the legal system in Northern Ireland.

For specific information on the criminal justice system follow this link.

We also recommend the website for the Judiciary in England & Wales which hosts really interesting articles, features and insights into the work of judges in that jurisdiction. We particularly recommend visiting their interactive learning page where you can:

• see what various courts look like;
• read about the various roles of people involved in court cases;
• have a go at being a judge and sentencing; and
• access online videos to hear four District Judges talk directly about their work
• access a video tutorial called "You be the Judge" and have a go at sentencing.

We would also recommend the website of the Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunal Service.

There you will find information on local services, courts and tribunals, publications, court hearings, how to lodge claims online. There is also a useful section on their community programmes and approach to outreach activities which involve court and school visits.
