ИСТИНА

You Be the Judge is an interactive website created by the Sentencing Council with support from the Judiciary of England and Wales. It allows users to step into the role of a judge or magistrate to make decisions based on real-life cases and decide what they think the sentence should be. Users can then compare their sentences with those given by the judges or magistrates. Watching the six scenarios in You be the Judge will give a unique opportunity to see how complex the sentencing process is and how sentencing guidelines help judges and magistrates take a consistent approach. The videos include subtitles and commentary, which help expand legal and crime-related vocabulary. This media resource enhances communication skills through listening practice and can be used by Legal English teachers in classroom activities and students for independent study.
