The CLSA Duty Solicitor's Handbook

This handbook provides complete coverage of procedure in both the police station and magistrates' court. Written in a practical fashion, it provides: extensive coverage of all police station and magistrates' court procedures as encountered by duty solicitors; details of all available sentencing options; material relating to police powers under the Terrorism Act 2000; PACE codes of practice as applied to civilians and the armed forces; and rules of civil evidence in the magistrates' court for anti-social behaviour orders, football banning orders and sex offender orders. Rather than being an exhaustive guide to criminal procedure, the book provides a readily accessible reference to the common issues which can and do arise in the early hours of the morning when the comforts of the office and a law library are unavailable.
