Criminal and coronial venues
Criminal trials and inquests in Newcastle
Criminal listings for the city are split between two buildings, and the coroner’s court sits in neither of them.
- Newcastle upon Tyne Crown Court and Magistrates’ Court
- Trials on indictment and summary work share The Law Courts building, sitting under Crown Court location code 439 and magistrates’ court code 2351.
- Newcastle Moot Hall
- The court finder lists the CastleGarth building for crime and for High Court cases involving serious or high profile criminal or civil law work.
- HM Coroner Court, Civic Centre
- Inquests for the Newcastle and North Tyneside coroner area, formed when the two former areas merged on 1 April 2023, are heard on the lower ground floor of the Civic Centre at Barras Bridge.
Cases listed at these venues draw on forensic psychiatric, psychological or other clinical evidence, from reports instructed in criminal defence work to assessments of fitness to plead.

Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Where would a Newcastle assessment take place?
Each listing names its consulting locations and assessment types before you make contact: face-to-face appointments are held at the practitioner's own premises, and remote assessment removes the journey altogether where the case suits it. Nothing about the logistics is left to be discovered after instruction.
What if the specialty my case needs has no Newcastle listing?
The instruction is still covered. Location results automatically include practitioners who assess remotely, each labelled with where they are actually based - so a Newcastle search never ends at an empty page while a remote-capable specialist exists on the register.
Can I shortlist Newcastle experts by sub-specialty, expertise or gender?
Yes - the register filters by category, specialty and specific medico-legal expertise as well as location, and every listing displays the practitioner's gender and experience. A Newcastle search can start from the precise question in issue and a sensitive-instruction preference at the same time.
