Magistrates’ Courts Criminal Practice 2007 provides in one volume a complete reference work for advocates and officials in the Magistrates’ courts. Combining unique procedural guides together with annotated statutes covering the entire range of criminal procedure. The full text is included on an accompanying CD-ROM enabling you to access the work on your PC at the office and on your laptop at court.

Designed to combine authority with utility, Magistrates’ Courts Criminal Practice provides you with step-by-step advice on a vast array of court procedures together with an up-to-date source of statutes, SI’s and practice directions. Unlike other comparable books, where this statutory material is often buried in commentary, all the statutes are presented alphabetically, so finding what you need is quick and easy. NEW FOR 2007

Magistrates’ Courts Criminal Practice has been fully updated for 2007 to include:

  • The Criminal Procedure Rules up to and including the 3rd Update;
  • The latest version of the Magistrates’ Courts Sentencing Guidelines; and
  • New case-law such as the Chorley Justices case.
One of the greatest challenges facing advocates and legal advisers in magistrates’ courts during 2007 will be the implementation of the Simple, Speedy, Summary Justice Initiative. Courts will expect advocates to be ready to explain in detail the elements of the offence which are disputed at the first hearing at which a not guilty plea is entered. Magistrates’ Courts Criminal Practice enables advocates to undertake this task by setting out the elements of over 80 of the most common offences together with detailed annotations.
