Archbold: Criminal Pleading, Evidence and Practice 2025

The 2025 edition of Archbold: Criminal Pleading, Evidence & Practice, the leading criminal court book for the Crown Court, published in October 2024 in print and eBook formats.

First published over 200 years ago, Archbold continues the ethos of being an invaluable aid to practising criminal law in the Crown Court and being reliable, current and comprehensive. The 2025 edition is as up-to-date and authoritative as ever featuring amendments and regulations made by new legislation, such as the Economic Crime and Corporate Treasury Act 2023, National Security Act 2023, Investigatory Powers (Amendment) Act 2024, Victims and Prisoners Act 2024, Public Order Act 2023 and the Online Safety Act 2023.

The Criminal Procedure Rules are up-to-date to 7th October 2024 with the coming into force of the Criminal Procedure (Amendment No.2) Rules 2024 (SI 2024/842).

Significant case law decisions include Casserly, Pierini, Rowan, Royle and ZA plus Attorney-General's Reference (No 1 of 2023).

All legislation and case law has been fully revised and updated, and the Archbold e-update keeps you fully informed on further changes on a weekly basis as they happen.

Chapter 18 on ‘Principals and Secondary Parties’ has been completely revised and we have taken the opportunity to rename it ‘Participation’.
