The Royal Courts of Justice, commonly called the Law Courts, is a building in London, which houses the Court of Appeal and the High Court of Justice of England and Wales. Courts within the building are open to the public although there may be some restrictions depending upon the nature of the cases being held. Although the High Court and the Court of Appeal are called the "Supreme Court", their function is quite different from the American Court of the same name, as they hear far more cases, but have a much less significant constitutional role.
