CLSA Duty Solicitors' Handbook by Andrew William Keogh
The third edition of this highly successful book provides criminal practitioners with the most up-to-date information needed for day-to-day practice. This handbook covers all aspects of the duty solicitor's role, offering invaluable information and guidance on practice and procedure. It addresses common issues arising in relation to the main procedures encountered in the magistrates' court and police station. Conveniently portable and straightforward, the book also provides detailed non-statutory materials to support the main analysis, criminal defence definitions, and examination of the sentencing options open to the court. The new PACE Codes of Practice in from force 1 January 2006 are reproduced in full. The content has been completely revised in light of the implementation of the Criminal Justice Act, the newly consolidated Criminal Procedure Rules, with key changes to the following: allocation and mode of trial; hearsay and bad character provisions; sentencing, including dangerous offenders; new offences; evidence, and disclosure. Recommended by the Criminal Law Solicitors' Association, the text is essential reading for anyone wanting to obtain or retain duty solicitor status under the Criminal Litigation Accreditation Scheme, and is particularly suited for those duty solicitors facing reaccreditation.
'Excellent' The Practical Lawyer, April 2006 'An invaluable source of information on practice and procedure for duty solicitors.' The Practical Lawyer, June 2006 '...it is undoubtedly a book which criminal solicitors in general, across all areas of criminal practice and levels of qualification, should have reference to, to ensure they are familiar with, as the author reminds us, the unprecedented degree of change to criminal practice and procedure in the two years since the second edition was published...easy to navigate and use as a 'one-stop shop' for information...if you do not allow its title to dissuade you, you can be assured, when next at the police station or magistrates' court, you will have a comprehensive and up-to-date handbook by your side.' New Law Journal, December 2006
