Resuscitating criminal courts after Covid-19
This article, focusing on the issue of custody time limits litigated under Covid-19 conditions, sets out how reasoned decisions to refuse to extend custody for unconvicted defendants excited the disapproval of senior judges such that fundamental changes were made to evidence, procedure and proof as well as effecting permanent manipulation of the composition of the adjudicating panels authorised to deal with such cases.

Adversarialism goes West
This article examines the approach of criminal courts in England and Wales to case management alongside the contradictory pressures placed upon the pre-trial role of the defence advocate, when advising on plea, which have led to the erosion of the adversary ideal. It focuses on the overarching procedural code that ‘governs’ the relationship between defence lawyers and the judiciary in the conduct of criminal cases (the Criminal Procedure Rules) a…

Against a backdrop of a dysfunctional criminal justice system, the authors bring an avalanche of legal and empirical material to question the legitimacy of the relationship between judges, lawyers, politicians and defendants in modern Britain.

The focus of this paper is to argue for a re‐affirmation of deep‐seated principles which contextualize professi…

Commentators, such as Lawrence Friedman, Malcolm Feeley, and John Langbein contend that reliance on jury trials, in the first half of the nineteenth century, was a function of the presence of amateur actors, while reliance on guilty pleas, which displaced trials from t…
