Each week dozens of people go through Bristol Magistrates Court and are convicted of numerous crimes - including drink and drug driving.
Bristol Live writes up the court's listings each week. This reporting forms an important part of the UK's open justice system, that justice can be seen to be done.
Some of the key benefits of open justice include ensuring public confidence and respect in democracy and the administration of justice, as well as deterring people from committing crimes and thereby the details of those crimes becoming public knowledge.
