Criminal Litigation begins by introducing the criminal justice system and professional conduct for criminal litigators. It then discusses a number of key areas of Criminal Law, including homicide, non-fatal offences against the person, sexual offences and property offences as well as the defences of insanity and automatism.

In addition, the course book covers key areas of criminal litigation, including representing the client at the police station, evidence, and representing clients in the Magistrates' and Crown Courts. Particular issues involving representing children and young people are covered, together with the crucial areas of disclosure, proceeds of crime, sentencing and appeals.

The book is supported by a number of activities and links to practice which reflect the author's wide-ranging experience in criminal litigation.

Criminal Litigation is the recommended textbook for the CILEX Professional Stage Criminal Litigation module, but it will also provide invaluable guidance for law students and junior criminal litigators who are seeking to improve their knowledge and practical skills in this area.
