Description

Criminal Jurisdiction and Procedure in the Magistrates' and Children's Courts of Victoria supplies sought-after guidance to the criminal jurisdiction and procedure of the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria (MCV) and Children’s Court of Victoria (CCV). It provides invaluable commentary on legislation administering criminal law in both these courts. The authors have extensive experience in the criminal law, as current and former judicial officers and as practitioners prior to their appointment to the Bench. Relevant provisions from the following Acts are considered: Criminal Procedure Act 2009 (Vic); Children, Youth and Families Act 2005 (Vic); and Magistrates’ Court Act 1989 (Vic). It includes a succinct overview of specialist courts and lists within the MCV and CCV, including the Koori Court, the Neighbourhood Justice Division, the Drug Court Division, the Assessment and Referral Court (ARC) List and Sexual Offences Lists. Both these courts are dealing with increasingly complex and serious criminal matters. This work captures the operation of the law of criminal procedure in the MCV and CCV, combined in one affordable and expertly-written resource. As such, it represents unbeatable value and a vital resource for judicial officers and those professionals practicing in the criminal divisions of the courts, including private solicitors, public lawyers, legal aid lawyers, barristers, prosecuting agencies, police and government officers.
