Coroner’s Courts

One type of civil court often overlooked by students is the Coroner’s Court. Of course, it’s also relevant for the topic of Juries. The Guardian has an excellent, if lengthy, article here which may make good extension material for more able students.There’s also a more simple account of a Coroner’s verdict in a case here.

You can download a PDF on the role of the Coroner here (including information on when a jury will be used).
