This is a work that has intentionally been constructed to provide an overview of the criminal justice system in Victoria. It is ?panoramic? in its breadth and the scope is informed by one fundamental idea: the tracing of the criminal law and its practical impact from start to finish. So the work surveys the impact of evidential, substantive and procedural systems and rules that are relevant to the practice of criminal law in Victoria from the commission of an offence until the exhaustion of post-conviction relief by way of appeal. It aims to be practical. We have done so by selecting topics that we believe are of most practical use to the criminal defence lawyer.
