MAGISTRATES’ COURTS CRIMINAL PRACTICE 2006
Main Article Content
Abstract
David Brewer (Jordan Publishing 2006), Pp 2422 (Hardback and Cd rom), ISBN 1 84661 011 7, Price £140.00 For many years, criminal practitioners have relied on Archbold Criminal Pleading Evidence & Practice (Sweet and Maxwell, pp 3070, price £310 hardback and cd rom) as ‘the’ trusted aide and mentor to criminal practice in all courts. More recently, Blackstone’s Criminal Practice (Blackstone Press, now Oxford University Press, pp 2061, price £185 hardback and cd rom) has emerged as ‘the’ competitor. However, those who practise largely in the magistrate’s courts find Anthony and Berryman’s Magistrates’ Court Guide (LexisNexis Butterworths) essential reading. Anthony and Berryman’s has its obvious limitations of size (750 pages) and therefore detail, it has its benefits too at just under £50.00. Practitioners in the magistrate’s court find themselves using either Blackstone’s or Archbold together with Anthony and Berryman’s.
