<human>:  Can you explain the difference between the US legal system and the UK legal system?
<bot>: The US and UK legal systems have some key differences. In the US, the legal system is based on federal and state laws, with the federal laws taking precedence. The UK legal system is based on a combination of common law and statute law, with the common law having precedence. In the US, juries are used for all criminal trials, whereas in the UK, only certain cases are tried by jury. Furthermore, in the US legal system, judges have the power to interpret laws based on precedent, but in the UK, they cannot do so. Finally, the US system allows for criminal jury trials while the UK only allows this in certain types of cases.
