Keep Current. Stay Informed. Be At Your Best in The Courtroom.
Staying on top of substantive changes to the law is challenging, but a necessary part of being a criminal practitioner. It is equally necessary to be aware of amendments to rules of practice.
Whether you are a defense lawyer, crown counsel, judge or paralegal, The Practitioner's Ontario Criminal Practice, 2026/2027 Edition by Alan D. Gold and Michael W. Lacy is a necessary reference for criminal proceedings at all three levels of court in Ontario: Ontario Court of Justice, Superior Court of Justice and Ontario Court of Appeal. The perfect companion to the Gold Code, this book provides the information on criminal practice which isn't found in any annotated Criminal Code.
