Throughout, examples are drawn from a wide range of cases to help students develop a rounded understanding of the subject.

Recent judgements of the Court of Appeal and the High Court on key cases have been included, as have important pronouncements by the House of Lords. ""The English Legal Process"" also looks at the implications of the Criminal Justice Act 2003, which changed the double jeopardy rule and allowed retrials in respect of a number of serious offences, and the forthcoming Criminal Defence Service Bill.
