Most recently, the Criminal Practice Directions have been revised and rearranged so that they correspond with the relevant sections of the Criminal Procedure Rules creating a single reference source for procedure in the criminal courts. It is therefore essential for criminal lawyers to have easy and instant access to these key documents.

The volume contains the full text of the Criminal Procedure Rules, the Criminal Practice Directions and the Sentencing Guidelines. Clearly presented and easily accessible, this is an indispensable resource for all criminal practitioners.
