This book is concerned with the evolution of the modern criminal trial. It discusses the dynamics of the transformation that occurred during the first half of the nineteenth century and, in particular, the role of the Prisoners' Counsel Act 1836. This is the first scholarly work to analyse the practice of advocacy.
