About

Sentencing Remarks

Features
Read full description

You are a Crown Court judge. The defendant stands in the dock. Counsel have made their submissions. The courtroom falls silent. Now you must pass sentence. Sentencing Remarks is the only authentic UK Crown Court sentencing simulator. Built around real Sentencing Council guidelines, it places you on the bench for 100 handcrafted criminal cases spanning everything from street robberies and drug supply to fraud, domestic violence, dangerous driving, and manslaughter. This is not a quiz. There are no multiple choice answers. You must build each sentence yourself: assess culpability and harm, weigh aggravating and mitigating factors, apply the guilty plea reduction, consider ancillary orders, and deliver your sentencing remarks to a courtroom full of people whose lives hang on your words. HEAR THE CASE Read the prosecution opening, the defence mitigation, the pre-sentence report, and the victim personal statement. Every case is morally complex. Easy answers are rare. QUESTION THE COURT: Put questions to prosecution counsel, defence counsel, the probation officer, and even the defendant directly. Their answers may reveal information that changes everything. Watch for the defendant gripping the dock rail, the victim weeping in the gallery, the barrister hesitating before answering. PASS SENTENCE: Use the Sentencing Council's culpability and harm matrix to find your starting point. Adjust for aggravating and mitigating factors. Apply the guilty plea reduction. Choose your disposal: absolute discharge, fine, community order, suspended sentence, immediate custody, extended sentence, or life imprisonment. Add ancillary orders: restraining orders, compensation, driving disqualifications, Sexual Harm Prevention Orders. FACE THE CONSEQUENCES: Sentence too leniently and the Attorney General may refer your case to the Court of Appeal as unduly lenient. Sentence too harshly and the defendant will appeal. The media will print their headlines. The public gallery will erupt or fall silent. The defendant may collapse, shout, cry, or simply stare. BUILD YOUR JUDICIAL CAREER" Begin as a Recorder and progress through the real ranks of the English and Welsh judiciary: Circuit Judge, Senior Circuit Judge, Resident Judge, Deputy High Court Judge, High Court Judge, Lord Justice of Appeal, and ultimately Lord Chief Justice. Each promotion unlocks more serious cases and earns you new robes, a new title, and a new form of address. Every decision is tracked. Your reputation, public confidence rating, appeal rate, and sentencing patterns are recorded across your entire career. Receive formal Judicial Performance Reviews every ten cases. Earn 25 medals for your conduct on the bench. All 100 cases included for 99p. No ads. No in-app purchases required. No internet connection needed.
