Essential Magistrates' Courts Law by Howard Riddle

Essential Magistrates' Courts Law by Howard Riddle

Hugely informed and presented in an accessible format, Essential Magistrates' Courts Law contains invaluable information and explanations of the central laws, procedures and practices of these courts. The legal framework of summary justice has changed comprehensively in the past ten to 15 years including in terms of evidence, procedure, guidelines, sentencing, judicial training and the fair but efficient expedition of cases. The book is designed to complement these developments as well as modern-day aspects of case management.
