Previous Edition Reviews
"The Key word here is 'clarity' - ever a necessary but too often a rare attribute when it comes to legal texts - but evident in abundance in this comprehensive and authoritative volume recently published by Jordans."
Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, Richmond Green Chambers
"For clarity, ease of reference and razor sharp analysis, this book is essential for any criminal practitioner"
John Cooper, Criminal Law & Justice Weekly
"A book compiled by practitioners for practitioners. In providing clear procedural guides, backed up by statutory and case law references, and outlines of the elements of common offences (not to mention available defences), it allows advocates, Assistant Justices' Clerks and others whose work takes them into magistrates' courts to quickly check the essential legal features surrounding the case before the court with the minimum of effort. This is a book that succeeds in simplifying often complex issues, contributing to the drive for speedy justice, and it will prove an invaluable companion on the often tortuous road to understanding"
Chris Armstrong, President Of The Justices' Clerks' Society And Clerk To the Justices In Cumbria
