Join For Legal for our next live webinar with expert speaker Colin Beaumont, Criminal Procedure Overview. This comprehensive session will provide an overview of the key stages of criminal procedure, from police searches, seizure and arrest through to detention, interview, pre-trial procedures, trial, sentencing and appeals.
This webinar will deal with the following points:
1 – Searches by the police of premises and seizure of items found under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984
2 – The pre-requisites for a lawful arrest
3 – The period of time for which an arrested person may be detained at the police station
4 – The police interview admissions/denials/prepared statements
5 – Pre-trial procedures – the completion of the PET Form + obligations upon the parties under Rule 3 of the Criminal Procedure Rules 2025 (as amended) – case management
6 – The trial procedure under Rule 24
7 – Sentencing
8 – Appeals to the Crown Court from the Magistrates’ Court against sentence or conviction or both
9 – Appeals from the Crown Court to the Court of Appeal
10 – Private paying clients and Defendant’s Costs Orders (DCO’s)
The material will be hugely relevant to those working within criminal law – you may be a solicitor working in the Magistrates’ Court – you may be a Solicitor with Higher Rights or a barrister working in the Crown Court – you may be a legal adviser – you may be an accredited rep or a probationary rep advising at the police station stage.
All Levels – this can be picked up throughout anyone’s professional career regardless of experience
Here are just 3 examples of the things you will learn during the presentation:
1 – The legal test for a half-time submission during a trial
2 – The presumption as regards the suspension of sentences and the duration of such a sentence and of such a suspension
3 – The powers of the Court of Appeal when dealing with an appeal against a sentence imposed in the Crown Court
