Media Reviews
Review from previous edition Easy to read and not only extremely useful for advocates but could be a vital quick reference document for legal advisors and magistrates John Thornhill JP, The Magistrate Review from previous editionAn excellent book...it covers virtually every area of law and procedure you may encounter in the magistrates' court. Even better - it is handbag sized! Natasha McDermott, Managing Partner, Carters Solicitors Review from previous edition I shall want rarely to be without it. As a Resident Judge I am regularly dealing with the interface between the Crown Court and the Magistrates' Court. I often find myself groping for information about the regular practice and procedure in the Magistrates' Court. It has until now been difficult to find help consistently in any one place HHJ Peter Collier QC
