Law Society of Ireland Manual: Criminal Litigation

The Criminal Litigation manual starts by introducing students to the area of criminal litigation and provides them with an overview of general practice considerations. The manual is split into logical parts dealing with the law of evidence in criminal courts, preliminary procedures in the prosecution of crimes, selected mode of trial and procedures in trial courts, and areas of specialized procedure. The manual takes students through the whole criminal litigation process, from the initial investigation of a crime through to the conclusion of a case, and looks at the process from both a prosecution and defence perspective. It is an essential text for students studying criminal litigation on the Law Society of Ireland's Professional Practice Course and is also an excellent resource for any Irish legal practitioner.
