Blackstone's continues to present the law in logical, accessible formats and is particularly helpful in relation to interpretations of the Criminal Procedure Rules and Criminal Practice Directions, which increasingly dictate criminal procedure, often circumventing legislation. * Criminal Bar Quarterly * Lawyers whose practice involves frequent attendance in the criminal courts of England and Wales will welcome this latest edition from the Oxford University Press, of "Blackstones Criminal Practice 2018". As students, practitioners and judges can attest Blackstones - despite its almost 3,700-page bulk - has become known as a stand-alone, easy to access work of reference, logically organised with ease of use and the needs of practitioners very much in mind.

advocate can be 100% confident" as the publishers have confidently put it "that Blackstones will be in every court." * Phillip Taylor MBE, Head of Chambers, and Elizabeth Taylor, Richmond Green Chambers * Review from previous edition 'Beautiful and intuitive (eBook Review)' * Stephen Grattage, Barrister, Exchange Chambers * 'The invaluable guide for the busy practitioner - now in an intuitive and easy-to-use format (eBook Review)' * Andrew Henley, Furnival Chambers * 'What you are being given here is something which is quite fantastic.
