people together in a room\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe proximity of people in that court is in direct contradiction to social-distancing rules and the restrictions we have placed on society in

government initially proposed holding criminal trials without juries<\/a>, with guilt or innocence decided by a judge or sheriff instead, but the plans were dropped from its emergency coronavirus legislation amid widespread opposition.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- mpu0 ads for mobile --><\/p>\n<p>The Westminster government has not made similar proposals in England and Wales, where legal associations vowed to fight \u201cany effort to curtail this fundamental right\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a great believer in the jury system and I will do everything that I can do to preserve it,\u201d Mr Buckland said. \u201cThe key thing for me is seeing how quickly we can get jury trials back and running.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A working group has been established to consider ways to restart some jury trials, which includes representatives from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), solicitors and barristers\u2019 associations, the Ministry of Justice, police and probation.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- mpu0 ads

courtrooms\u201d or other \u201cbig venues\u201d, such as university lecture halls, was also being considered.<\/p>\n<p>Parties could also be spread through a number of\u00a0courtrooms, for example by putting jurors, counsel, the judge and witnesses in one and the press and public in another.<\/p>\n<p>But around half of the court buildings in England and Wales are currently closed, and those still operating are hearing urgent cases only.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- mpu0 ads for mobile --><\/p>\n<p>Rules have been relaxed to allow more hearings to take place over video link, and for legal discussions to happen remotely.<\/p>\n<p>The CPS has issued updated guidance that aims to ease pressure on the system, by requiring prosecutors to consider the circumstances of the coronavirus outbreak when deciding to take a case to court.<\/p>\n<p>It means that some criminals could be punished using fines, cautions or other out-of-court disposals, or have the cases against them dropped.<\/p>\n<p>According to provisional police figures, overall recorded crime also fell by 28 per cent during the first weeks of lockdown.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
