Publisher's Synopsis
Anyone practising in the criminal court needs to have a sound grasp of both evidence and procedure. This book provides the criminal lawyer with access to the key points of these inter-related subjects in a single volume. It is divided into two parts: Part A deals with evidence, while Part B covers procedure. It provides the text of the most important statutory provisions, together with a concise commentary. The procedural and evidential provisions of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 are placed in context, and there are extensive excerpts from the revised 1995 version of the codes of practice issued under PACE. The Criminal Appeal Act 1995 is also dealt with in full.;The book should be of particular interest to students of the criminal justice system (including prospective solicitors, barristers and legal executives), and to practitioners looking for a clear exposition of the most important principles, with their statutory and common law basis. John Sprack is the author of "Emmins on Criminal Procedure".
