This comprehensive, clear guide is aimed at the layperson, the professional and the student alike and covers: the legal system; legal help; who's who in court; before the hearing; necessary paperwork needed by those in court; court procedures; on the day; in court, during and after the hearing.

2004-10-24 Altogether too basic

I did not find this book useful, primarily because it is too basic for the reasonably intelligent reader. It also barely covers Magistrates Court procedure (although it covers Crown Court procedure in detail in which people are much less likely to want to conduct their own cases) - they may be similar but it doesn't say to what extent. It also does not cover enough detail to really enable people to learn how to conduct their own case.
