||
| 4) - Now we shall speak about the functions of the judge in court. Answer my questions: | |||
| - Does the judge give evidence in court? | P1: No, he does not. The witness gives evidence under oath in court. | ||
| - Does the judge conduct a trial? | P2: Yes, he does. His functions are to conduct the proceedings. | ||
| - The judges are appointed from the baristers, aren't they? | P3: Yes, they are. The judges are appointed from the barristers. | ||

His functions are to conduct the proceedings, point out the problems to be clarified, put questions to the parties and witnesses, examine the documents and evidence, rule the details of the procedure. He also makes the summing up to the jury, interprets a law and passes the sentence. Judges are not a separate profession in Britain. | ||
| 5) - Now let us speak about witnesses. Answer my questions. | |||
| • Do witnesses come to the court themselves? | - No, they don't. Witnesses are brought to the court on the initiative of the parties. | ||
| • What do the witnesses do when the case starts? | - When the case starts, the witnesses are asked to leave the courtroom. | ||
| • Who calls the witness in to the courtroom? | - He is called in by the barristers. | ||
| • Where is evidence given? | - Evidence is given in the witness box. | ||
| • What may a witness tell? | - A witness may tell only what he himself knows to be true. He must describe what he saw but not what he heard from over persons. | ||
| • Is the so-called “hearsay” evidence taken into consideration under English law? | - Under English law, the so-called “hearsay” evidence is not generally taken into consideration. | ||
| Now, tell everything you know about giving evidence in court. | - Witnesses are brought to the court on the initiative of the
parties. When the case starts, the witnesses are asked to leave the courtroom. They are
called in by the barristers. On giving evidence the witness must not leave the court to
prevent his mixing with later witnesses. Evidence is given in the witness box. Before a witness goes into it, he is required to swear an oath, with his hand on the Bible. A witness may tell only what he himself knows to be true. He must describe what he saw, but not what he heard from other persons. Under English law, the so-called “hearsay” evidence is not generally taken into consideration. |
||
| 6) - In England and Wales the legal profession is traditionally divided into two classes of layers – barristers and solicitors. Let us discuss if there is any difference between the work of the solicitor and that of the barrister. Again answer my questions. | |||
| • Do barristers do little or much advocacy? | P1: There are many barristers who do little advocacy, and there are solicitors who do little else, but who have made considerable reputations for themselves in the courts in which they are allowed to appear. | ||

| • How have the solicitors made reputations for themselves? | P3: There are solicitors who have made considerable reputations for themselves in the courts in which they are allowed to appear. | ||
| • What kind of layers are solicitors? | P4: Solicitors are layers who undertake legal business for ordinary people (non professional clients), while barristers advise through solicitors and conduct the case in the higher courts. | ||
| • Is there are any different between the work of the solicitor and that of the barrister? Let us make the summing up. | P5: There is no practical difference between the work of the solicitor and that of the barrister. For there are many barristers who do little advocacy, and there are solicitors who do little else, but who have made considerable reputations for themselves in the courts in which they are allowed to appear. In general, however, solicitors are layers who undertake the legal business for ordinary people (non-professional clients), while barristers advise through solicitors and conduct the case in the higher courts. A prospective barrister must have an accepted educational standard, pass the special legal examinations and become a member of a legal corporation, called “Inn of court”. | ||
| 7) - And now we are going to discuss the jury service. Answer my questions. | |||
| • What kinds of crimes are tried before a jury? | P1: All serious crimes are tried in a superior court before a jury. Sometimes juries may be found in civil cases, too. | ||
| • A jury consists of 15 persons, isn't it? | P2: No, it is not. A jury consists of twelve persons. | ||
| • What people are liable to be summoned for jury service? | P2: No, it is not. A jury consists of twelve persons. | ||
| • What does the jury do in a court? | P3: Most tax-payers (men and women alike) are liable to be summoned for jury service if they are between the ages of 21 and 60. | ||
| • What should be done if the jurors are unable to reach agreement? | P4: The jury returns a verdict which must be unanimous. | ||
| • How does the jury return a verdict? | P5: If the jurors are unable to reach agreement, the case must be retried before a new jury. | ||
| • What kind of verdict may the jury entitle to return in criminal case according to english law? | P6: According to English law, the jury in criminal cases is entitled to return only one of the two verdicts – guilty or not guilty. Under the Scottish law there is also the third formula – not proven – which is actually the same as not guilty. | ||
| -Let us make the summing up of the information we have learnt about the
jury service. - We have learnt much today about one aspect of a Judicial System – the participants of a law-court trial and their functions. |
