In law, a committal procedure is the process by which a defendant is charged with a serious offence under the criminal justice systems of all common law jurisdictions except the United States; which, instead, retains the earlier grand jury process. Sometimes the committal procedure includes a preliminary hearing, sometimes it does not.
