Overview

"The new editions of ""Legal Practice Course Guides"" marks a shift in focus, from the traditional book learning of the old course towards an emphasis on legal skills gained through practical exercises. Each guide explains the relevant substantive and procedural law and, where appropriate, contains sample precedents, documents and check lists, as well as excerpts from relevant practitioner texts. Sample questions and execises are included as a stimulus to further reading. The guides form a bridge between the notes and workbooks produced by each teaching institution and the raw material found in the practitioner texts. This guide explains and describes the criminal litigation process from the stage at which the police first undertake investigation of a crime through to criminal appeals. It is a comprehensive and self-contained resource book, avoiding the need to refer to other sources for information. It deals in a practical way with criminal procedure, with full consideration of tactical aspects, and incorporates a discussion of relevant skills and rules of professional conduct including, in particular, interviewing and obtaining instructions, negotiation, fact management and advocacy. As well as dealing with the rules of criminal procedure, there is in-depth treatment of all relevant aspects of the law of criminal evidence. This edition has been updated to cover all recent legislation, case law and practice up to the time of writing. In addition, the evidence section has been reduced in size to make it more practical and less theoretical in approach. The book covers the important procuedural and evidential matters dealt with in the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. Craig Osborne is the author of ""Manual of High Court Litigation""."
