author: Andrew Keogh
description: Review from previous edition: "Easy to read and not only extremely useful for advocates but could be a vital quick reference document for legal advisors and magistrates" --John Thornhill JP, The Magistrate<br /><br />"An excellent book...it covers virtually every area of law and procedure you may encounter in the magistrates' court. Even better - it is handbag sized!" --Natasha McDermott, Managing Partner, Carters Solicitors<br /><br />"The only book to contain all the material you need in such an easily portable volume...There can be no better person to produce this work." --Senior District Judge (Chief Magistrate)<br /><br />"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
