Vincent Kearney in court

The court system explained

Our Home Affairs Correspondent, Vincent Kearney, examines how Northern Ireland's courts are structured.

Our courts deal with around 100,000 legal cases each year, ranging from criminal trials and civil actions through to family proceedings, inquests and appeals.

Our Home Affairs Correspondent, Vincent Kearney takes us on a journey through our courts system.
