Excellent theoretical and practical assistance for all those involved in the criminal justice process, from criminal advocates to defendants ... It combines knowledge, experience and advice, providing guidance for any lawyer or individual seeking to redress a miscarriage of justice on appeal ... [It] is a hugely impressive work, cramming all relevant Court of Appeal information into an easy to carry referencer. I, for one, will not be making my way to the High Court from now on without a copy.
