Each question is followed by a suggested answer plan, a sample answer and comments on how the answer might be assessed by an examiner. The author also offers advice on common errors to avoid when answering each question.

Questions cover a comprehensive range of topics including arrest, detention and search after arrest, bail, obtaining evidence and forensic procedures, the right to silence and police interrogation, entry onto and search of premises, sentencing and pleas in mitigation, and the appeal process.
