Review
'This is an excellent book for a nervous beginner. It is small enough to fit into a handbag or pocketa book that deserves to be widely read by the young bar'. Counsel, March 2004 An invaluable guide to the ins and outs of the arcane art of Advocacy in a magistrates court setting. Wet-behind-the-ears defence solicitors and barristers would do well to thumb the relevant pages of this book before their pre-trial review or bail application. As well as offering practical advice on procedure and tips on effective advocacy, it covers more esoteric points, such as going equipped with tissues for your client and when it isn't appropriate to address the tribunal as 'you'Coherent, logical and clear approach makes the book easy to navigate and a great resource for swotting up on the train on the way to the venue.' Trainee Magazine, March 2004

Recommended
As a newly-qualified Criminal Solicitor I bought this book having read other positive reviews, purely to be used as a starting point of reference for conducting cases in the Magistrates Court. The advice contained within is golden, with chapters on making bail applications, trial advocacy etc. Has certainly helped to ease the nerves of approaching a range of Magistrates cases, this is recommended for all Criminal NQ's and I'd say experienced Solicitors alike. Must buy!
Essential reading for the new Advocate or Barrister
This was recommended to me by a seasoned Advocate and has proved to be invaluable. It provides the new practitioner with essential information only experience otherwise provides. It stays in my briefcase at all times.
