St Albans Crown Court Listings – Daily Hearing Schedules

St Albans Crown Court is located at Bricket Road, St Albans, Hertfordshire, AL1 3JW. Opened in 1992, this purpose-built courthouse replaced the former hearing facilities at the Old Town Hall on St Peter's Street, which could no longer accommodate the growing caseload across Hertfordshire. Designed by Macintosh Haines and Kennedy in a modernist style using brown and red brick, the building was constructed at a cost of £16.3 million and features a symmetrical seven-bay frontage facing Bricket Road. Today, it serves as the principal Crown Court venue for St Albans and the surrounding communities in Hertfordshire, handling indictable criminal offences tried before a judge and jury alongside single justice procedure matters.

Types of Cases Heard at St Albans Crown Court

As a Crown Court centre, St Albans deals exclusively with criminal proceedings. These include serious indictable offences such as robbery, grievous bodily harm, sexual offences, fraud, drug trafficking, and murder, all of which require trial by jury. The court also hears appeals against conviction or sentence from St Albans Magistrates' Court and handles committals for sentencing where magistrates have determined that their sentencing powers are insufficient. Single justice procedure cases — typically minor regulatory offences — are also processed here. The Crown Court location code for legal professionals is 450, and the DX address is 120500 Luton 6.
