Product description

The sentencing process is a significant aspect of the Criminal Justice system. This book is designed to assist junior practitioners at each stage of the sentencing process.

The book details the practical steps to take when preparing for sentencing; from initial client interview, to filing written submissions, to presenting an oral plea in mitigation at a sentencing hearing.

Realistic example fact scenarios are provided, together with tips, checklists, sample documents, and flow charts. The relevant legislation is also included for ease of reference.

The book will assist junior lawyers to competently advocate for their clients at sentence.
