Review
REVIEW OF THE FOURTH EDITION: ... this book gets the balance about right ... ideal for a new practitioner looking for guidance on procedure and down to earth practical advice ... It is an impressively detailed guide for a newcomer to the criminal courts. For trainees and pupils trying to bridge the gap between academic textbooks and practitioners bibles,this is an ideal stepping stone. Justice of the Peace, Vol 163, No 26, 1999. REVIEW OF THE FIFTH EDITION 'Excellent, clear and logical. Excellent for Senior Practitioners as well as students. Keith Simpson, Inns of Court School of Law.

Customer Reviews
Out of date, poorly structured and badly written
This book, although 2001/2002 edition, fails to reflect major changes in the law and is oblivious to important updates in the field which it purports to cover. Badly written, with basic grammatical errors and sentences without meaning, I can heartily recommend you do not buy this book.
Not for the student!!!
This book is written as required reading for students at the Inns of Court School of Law. The chapters and text are written by a group of writers who seem to lack any cohesion. Numerous parts are convoluted and unclear, with large amount of text in no particular order.
