If I had to nominate one book for duty solicitors to have with them at all times, this is it. (Rodney Warren, The Criminal Lawyer )

Blackstone's Magistrates' Court Handbook 's easy-to-use pocket-sized format facilitates quick reading and instant decision-making.

AIDE MEMOIRE FOR THE BUSY BARRISTER
An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
Andrew Keogh has maintained his excellent and perceptive recipe for what we need as advocates in the Magistrates' Courts for 2012 with the new edition of his excellent handbook. As other commentators have said, virtually everything is covered without having to carry 3 volumes of `Stones' with you (no disrespect to LexisNexis!)
So, if you're a practitioner with a busy and highly pressured practice in the magistrates' courts, you need the new edition of `Blackstone's Magistrates' Court Handbook'. It covers those offences which you are most likely to experience frequently in court and is therefore brilliant for helping you with those short notice cases which require your immediate and considered response.
Many of your colleagues will have copies of the Handbook and if you have a copy already, do note that this is a brand new edition for 2012 containing the latest up to date material.
It remains thoughtfully designed for ease of use and it's almost instantly navigable with a logical system of icons, frequent headings, bullet points, flow charts and tables -- particularly on sentencing topics -- and Extensive Tables of Cases, Legislation and Secondary Legislation. As it comes in a handy pocket sized format with a (practically damage proof) and highly practical plasticated cover, you can keep it ever to hand in your briefcase. If you don't have this latest edition now, buy it before the hordes descend!
It'll certainly save you a lot of precious time, and, yes, Keogh has struck the correct balance here!
