Reviews
...No one actively practising or otherwise seriously concerned with the English criminal law can hope to survive without it...it cannot be too highly praised for it's thorough and indeed exhaustive exploration of the intricacies as well as the principles of it's subject...their job is to set out and comment upon the law as it is. They have done their job splendidly and we are all in their debt.
`Review from previous edition This book sets out all the material in one comprehensive volume which no criminal practitioner can afford to be without' The Magisterial Officer `Bail in Criminal Proceedings brings a fresh approach to the question of bail. It is a thoughtful publication [which is] well written and easy to read. It is worthy of a place in the library of all those who are concerned with the judicial process.' Justice of the Peace `This is the third edition of the definitive guide to bail in criminal proceedings, written by Neil Corre and David Wolchover. The book covers every, and I do mean every single aspect, of bail some familiar topics and others you probably have never even heard of. The text is littered with relevant statutory provisions and case law, combined with expert analysis. The introduction includes some interesting information as to the social policy backdrop of bail law and policy, and chapter one covers the historical development of bail over the ages. The book is expensive at GBP65 (hardback) but worth every penny, like most things in life you simply get what you pay for' Andrew Keogh `no one actively practising or otherwise seriously concerned with the English criminal law can hope to survive without it.... it cannot be too highly praised for its thorough and indeed exhaustive exploration of the intricacies as well as the principles of its subject.' Justice of the Peace `Given the heightened emotions that the issue of bail often generates, and the at times disproportionate amount of time that it seems to take up in the life of the average case, many criminal firms and sets of chambers may find this publication a worthwhile investment.' Anthony J Potter (5 Fountain Court, Birmingham), New Law Journal
