Legal writing in plain English. 

Law guidebooks using plain English which is easy to understand using clear concise plain wording. 

Welcome to my series of law guidebooks for beginners. Criminal Law A crime is defined in law in Ireland as an act which may be punished by the State. The way in which a criminal offence is investigated and prosecuted depends on the type of crime involved. 

For these purposes criminal offences may be described in different ways such as: 
* Summary offences 
* Indictable offences 
* Minor offences 
* Serious offences 
* Arrestable offences 

There are two ways criminal offences can be tried in Irish law: 

* In the lower court (District Court) before a judge without a jury (summary). 
* In the higher courts (Circuit Criminal Court, Central Criminal Court) before a judge and jury (indictable).
