Judicial institutions in England and Lithuania

Every country has its own institutions for making, modifying, abolishing and applying the law. Generally, they are divided from the lower to the higher courts.
In England the highest judicial institution is the House of Lords. It deals with all matters. If a defendant does not agree with magistrate judgment, he can appeal to the Queen`s Bench Division of the High Court. The Crown Courts deal with criminal matters and the County Courts deal with civil matters.
In Lithuania the highest judicial institution is Constitutional Court. Circuit courts and District courts deal with criminal and civil matters. Also, in Lithuania are courts of appeal for defendants who do not agree with the verdict.
There are some differences between English and Lithuanian courts. Firstly, in Lithuania there are no jurors. Secondly, in Lithuania are administrative courts and in England are not. Finally, Lithuania is democratic country while England is a monarchy. There are some similarities too. In England County courts are the same as District courts in Lithuania.
