The United Kingdom

The UK (short for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) is situated on two islands called the British Isles. The larger island is Great Britain, which consists of three parts: England, Scotland and Wales, and the smaller is Ireland. Southern Ireland, now called Eire or the Irish Republic, is independent of the UK.

The country is washed by the Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea, which is between Great Britain and Ireland.

There are mountain chains in Scotland, Wales and North-West England, but they are not very high. North-West England is also famous for its beautiful lakes.

The longest river in England is the Severn, and the deepest is the Thames, on which stands the capital of England, London.

The UK is a highly developed industrial country. She exports machinery, vessels, motor and other goods. One of her main industries is the textile industry and a lot of British textiles are exported.

The text number 2

There are three separate systems of law in the United Kingdom: the legal systems of law courts of 1. England and Wales; 2. Scotland; 3. Northern Ireland. However, there are some common features to all systems in the United Kingdom: the sources of law, the distinction between civil law and criminal law. The sources of law include: 1. Written law (ie statutes (ie statutes); 2. Unwritten law (ie Common law and Equity) based on judicial precedent. We also call the common law as "case law" or "judge made" law. It means that when one judge had decided a point of law, any judge who has the similar set of facts must decide case in the same way as in the earlier judgement. In other words, the judge uses the process of analogy. Any it is in this way that the generations of judges have built up the Common law. The structure of courts in England and Wales looks like this.

It is the Magistrates' Courts (sometimes called police courts) that try the majority of all criminal cases and some civil cases. Magistrates' Courts are presided over by lay magistrates (also called justices of the peace - JP s) who work part-time and are unpaid. The courts consists of between 2 and 7 magistrates. In a few large cities there are also stipendiary magistrates who sit alone and have legal training. County courts are the main civil courts and the Crown Court deals with all the more serious criminal cases. It also hears appeals from magistrates' courts. The accused has the right to trial by jury. There is the Central Criminal Court in London (the old Bailey). The High Court hears all those civil cases that can not be decided by county courts. The Court of Appeal hears both criminal and civil appeals and the House of Lords is the final appelate tribunal. The judges in the House of Lords is the ten "Lords of Appeal in Ordinary" (the "law lords").
