Short, easy-to-understand resource that outlines what happens when someone is charged with a criminal offence. It briefly describes the first steps in the court process and the different options that might be available. It also outlines the accused person’s legal rights, and how to get legal aid or other legal help.
The information we provide on this site explains the law in general and isn’t intended to be used as legal advice for specific legal problems. Because each person’s legal issue is different, it’s a good idea to talk to a lawyer. See Where can I get legal advice? to find legal services.
