Revise SQE Criminal Practice provides readers with the core legal principles and rules to be tested by the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE1) Functioning Legal Knowledge assessment. It covers the fundamental rules relating to criminal practice from the commission of the criminal offence, through to the investigation and charge of the offence, and the trial process. In particular, the text considers the law, procedure and processes involved in advising a client at the police station, pre-trial considerations and magistrates’ court and Crown Court trials, including sentencing and appeals. Readers will be able to test their knowledge throughout by the use of SQE-style multiple-choice questions, and with practical examples demonstrating the application of the law.
Please note that, unless otherwise expressly stated, the law covered in this book applies in both England and Wales.
