Blackstone's Criminal Practice 2006

Blackstone's Criminal Practice maintains the highest standards of clarity in expression, authority in exposition, and of user-friendliness in layout. It is as accessible to new user as it is invaluable to judges and experienced criminal practitioners. Jeremy Horder, Law Commissioner for England and Wales Blackstone has become an authoritative text. Its concision and accessibility carries no penalty in accuracy, intelligence or reliability. If there ever was a time when citing Blackstone was a second port of call for an advocate in the Crown Court, I believe it has gone. Stephen Irwin QC, Doughty Street Chambers, Chairman of the Bar 2004 In the current legislative climate when a court based advocate has to face the challenge of a plethora of new laws alongside an ever-increasing workload, the comprehensive, accessible and commonsense layout of Blackstones makes it an essential tool and a reliable one stop source of legal knowledge ... I wouldn't like to go to court without one. Jamie Foster, Solicitor, Farrell Matthews & Weir Solicitors Blackstone's is accessible, logically presented and well written with a good balance of statute and commentary. It is written by leading experts and has established itself as a leading text in the criminal courts and in my view, is an essential text for any student or practitioner. Tan Ikram, Partner, IBB Solicitors, Hon. Training Office, LCCSA Blackstone's Criminal Practice has finally come of age. When you stop and think about it, it is amazing that this fine book has played second fiddle to its more established court partner - Archbold. GBP155 for a book that covers the entire criminal jurisdiction, with comprehensive updating available (at no extra cost). You decide GBP155 v GBP500 - if criminal practitioners really are feeling the cold chill of legal aid cuts (and I know you are) then who can afford to continue to throw money down the drain? Mark Ornstey, CrimeLine Blackstone's Criminal Practice remains at the forefront of practitioner books, providing a readable, easily navigable, and now regularly updated guide to criminal law. New Law Journal Quite simply indispensable for all criminal law practitioners. The Journal of Criminal Law Very user friendly with a comprehensive index as well as a companion website- a one-stop-shop that wins on convenience. TSG Life (Trainee Solicitors Group Magazine), Spring 05 An indispensable tool for barristers, solicitors and paralegals... judges, magistrates and court staff... everyone who needs to know the length and breadth of criminal practice should keep a volume or compact disc readily at hand.
