This has to be the most informative and interactive 'legal app' on the market at the moment. Like the book, the Banks on Sentence App will soon become indispensible as more and more barristers and solicitors turn to their iPads rather than reaching for a dusty book. As you would expect, the App contains all the information any practitioner or judge could hope to need when dealing with sentences in the Magistrates' and Crown Court. The App is easy to use and contains some great features, including (i) a helpful index section, (ii) a search function and (iii) a favourites feature. It goes without saying that the App details all the important cases and principles you could hope to need, as well as including all the Guidelines issued by the Sentencing Guidelines Council. Helpfully, the paragraph numbers mirror that of the book, thus ensuring that you can easily direct a judge (who may not yet be in command of an iPad) to the relevant sections. All in all, if you are a criminal practitioner who has an iPad, you MUST buy this App. Well done Robert Banks and Co!

This scholarly but practical work is a masterpiece of construction. It is simply indispensible.

e-book
We are aware of the need for an e-book for many practitioners.
We are currently working on an e-book version of Banks on Sentence but there remains the issue of security.
