Details

Archbold Magistrates' Court Criminal Practice is a comprehensive, authoritative and practically focused work for practitioners working in magistrates’ courts, youth courts and those working within the wider criminal justice sector.

The work provides detailed coverage of the criminal jurisdiction of magistrates’ courts and youth courts, together with the growing number of civil orders which complement the criminal jurisdiction. Content is easily accessible, allowing the user to quickly identify key issues and find fast answers to difficult questions.

An essential work for all involved in making the system effective: practitioners prosecuting or defending, magistrates, and those responsible for advising them in the administration of the courts. Usable as a stand-alone reference in magistrates’ and youth court proceedings.
