If the defendant is indicted on criminal charges and the case proceeds to the Crown Court, trial is before a judge and jury.
In less serious criminal cases the case is sent for summary trial in magistrates’ court. A summary trial is before a bench of magistrates.
A civil trial is in the vast majority of cases by a judge alone. Juries are now very rare in civil cases.
