Preparing for a Criminal Trial in the Magistrates Court
Preparation is crucial and preparing for that all important criminal trial in the magistrates’ court is no exception. During this bite size webinar, experienced lecturer and duty solicitor Colin Beaumont will discuss the new trial procedure following the amendments brought about by the Criminal Procedure Rules 2015. Consideration will be given to the circumstances in which you might consider making a submission of no case to answer and how to handle the trial in which you have simply put the prosecution to proof whilst advancing no positive case. Guidance will also be offered in terms of what to say during your closing speech to help secure a successful outcome.
