The highest court in England is the House of Lords which deals with all matters. The Court of Appeal is divided into Criminal and Civil divisions. Next is the High Court which is divided into divisions too. There are Queen's Bench Division which considers appeals from lower courts, Chancery Division deals with disputes about trusts, the property and the Family divison deals with family matters. Also there are the Crown Courts which deal with criminal matters and Count Court with civil. Finally, the lowest criminal court is a Magistrate Court which has a right to hear certain cases only.
The highest court in Lithuania is the Supreme Court. It reviews effective judgements, rulings and orders of the courts of general jurisdiction. The Court of Appeal is appeal instance for the cases heard by regional courts. District courts deals with criminal, civil cases. Regional courts are instance for criminal, civil cases and appeal instance for judgements, rulings, decisions. Also there are Regional administrative courts - special jurisdiction for hearing complaints, the Supreme Administrative Court is instance for administrative cases assigned to its jurisdiction by law and the Constitutional Court.
The difference between England and Lithuania judicial institutions is that in England there are jury and in Lithuania aren't. There is the Constitutional Court in Lithuania but in England isn't because it hasn't writen Constitution. However, there are some similarities too. In both countries there are witnesses, the Court of Appeal, the highest courts, County courts and both countries have Civil and Criminal divisions.
