More DescriptionThis book is intended to be a practical and portable guide for the busy court advocate who requires ready-access to key information in relation to procedure, offences and sentencing. It covers the key areas of magistrates' court practice with an emphasis on the areas most likely to arise at short notice, and require an instant response from the advocate while on his or her feet. The book concentrates on those offences most likely to be experienced at court by an advocate servicing legal aid work, and includes major summary and either-way offences. It removes the clutter of excess statutory provisions, concentrating instead on providing an easy to digest summary of the law. Written by a practicing criminal lawyer with extensive magistrates' court experience the reader can be assured of an authoritative and speedy answer to the problems that can and do arise at very short notice.
