Review(s) from previous edition
"I direct counsel to Blackstone's Criminal Practice first - Archbold cannot rival it in terms of detailed coverage and commentary.
- HHJ Roberts, Central Criminal Court
"Blackstone's is a worthy rival to Archbold. Its treatment of evidence and procedure, as well as its exemplary discussion of recent appellate court authorities make it my first port of call on any problem.
" - HHJ Pardoe QC, Snaresbrook Crown Court
"I am using Blackstone's more and more...a very valuable addition to the criminal practitioner's library.
" - HHJ Atherton, Manchester Crown Court
"We would be lost without it.
" - HHJ Globe QC, Liverpool Crown Court
"Invaluable for all who practice in the field.
" - The Right Honourable Lord Justice Leveson
"A most valuable reference guide. I would not be without it.
" - HHJ Radford, Snaresbrook Crown Court
"I shall want rarely to be without it. As a Resident Judge I am regularly dealing with the interface between the Crown Court and the Magistrates Court. I often find myself groping for information about the regular practice and procedure in the Magistrates Court. It has until now been difficult to find help consistently in any one place . . . Thank you for this gem of a book" - HHJ Peter Collier
