British legal system timeline
The British legal system has evolved over many centuries, incorporating influences from the Romans, Normans, and other groups. Key developments include the Magna Carta in 1215 establishing due process rights, the English Civil War in 1651 increasing Parliament's power over the monarchy, and the formation of the Supreme Court in 2009 replacing the House of Lords as the highest court. The legal profession also took shape between the 17th-18th centuries, adopting traditions like powdered wigs that remain part of formal court attire today. Over time, the British legal system has adapted while retaining influences from its long history.

INTRODUCTION
ENGLAND is a small island country situated off the northern coast of France. Throughout its
history, the country has been referred to as England, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom.
The official name changes occurred as a result of England’s political union with its
territorial neighbors. For example, in 1707, England and Wales united with Scotland. This
geographic alliance became known as Great Britain. When the southern counties of Ireland
formed the Irish Free State in 1922, the official name of Britain changed again—this time
to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
In this chapter, we are concerned only with the geographical area known as England
and Wales. The reasons for this are quite simple. Scotland is not a common law country;
its criminal justice system consists of a mixture of common and civil law. This was a result
of its political association with France in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Scotland
retained some of the legal characteristics that are indigenous to civil law countries such as
France. Northern Ireland is not included in this study as a result of the problems that exist
between the Protestant and Catholic factions of that country. The serious nature of these
problems, although they are beginning to be resolved, has caused the criminal justice system
