People in a law court

the accused / the defendant	the person who is on trial in a criminal court of law. They are charged with committing (=accused of doing) a crime.
the crown	the ruling authorities. In criminal courts the Crown accuses someone of having done something illegal.

Many cases in a court of law are not criminal ones, for example if you make a legal claim for money from someone who has failed to pay what they owe you. Most legal cases like this are called civil actions. In a civil law court the plaintiff is the person who makes a legal complaint about another person, the defendant.

solicitor	a lawyer who is trained to give advice about the law, and to prepare a law case before it is considered by the court. For serious or complex matters, solicitors often employ barristers to speak in court instead of them.
barrister	a lawyer who represents someone in court, particularly in the higher courts. They often give advice to solicitors on specialized or complex matters.
lawyer	In Britain lawyers can be either solicitors or barristers, who have different training and work. The US legal system does not have these two types of lawyer. US lawyers (also known as attorneys) prepare a case before trial and speak in all levels of court.
witness	a person who states what they know about a particular person, or about matters related to a legal case. This is called giving evidence.
jury	a group of twelve ordinary people, called jurors. In criminal trials, they consider all the evidence, decide what the facts are, and decide whether the accused person is guilty or not guilty.
judge	the person in charge of a criminal trial or court case who decides the answers to legal questions in the trial or tells the jury what the law is. In criminal cases if a person is found guilty, the judge decides what punishment should be given.

In some courts in England and Wales the people who act as judges are called magistrates. Magistrates are respected people who usually do not have any legal qualifications, and are not paid for their work. Serious legal matters are examined by legally trained judges in other types of courts.
