Criminal Defence offers a step-by-step guide to practice and procedure in all of the criminal courts. The third edition of this established book has been completely updated and revised to focus on the needs of practitioners whilst taking account of developments in criminal law.

Significant changes in this area of law include the Criminal Justice Act 2003 and the Courts Act 2003, the new Criminal Case Management Framework and the associated consolidated Criminal Procedure Rules. These affect:-

  • bad character provisions
  • hearsay provisions
  • sentencing and bail
  • disclosure
  • the criminal case management framework
  • allocation: mode of trial and committal for sentence
  • prosecution right of appeal against judges’ rulings.
It also contains new chapters on how to use public funding in criminal cases and how to build the defence case in the police station.

Concise and reader-friendly, this updated work is an ideal companion for the busy practitioner. It addresses the questions that criminal practitioners should pose and provides sample answers.
