Your case
If you are released on bail, you are given a bail sheet telling you where and when to attend court. It is vital that you attend court as required, and that you arrive on time.
95% of all criminal cases are heard in a Magistrates' Court. The magistrates may be three local people, sometimes called justices of the peace, supported by a legally trained advisor. There may be just one magistrate, called a district judge, who is a lawyer. No-one in a Magistrates' Court wears a white wig and only the ushers wear black gowns.
More serious cases have to be heard in a Crown Court. In a Crown Court, cases are heard by a judge and jury.
