The Bar Book Project
Presenting Evidence of Disadvantage
The aim of the Bar Book Project is to provide readily accessible research summaries to assist lawyers and judicial officers for the purposes of sentence proceedings.
The chapters of the Bar Book will collate authoritative research concerning the nature of various forms of disadvantage, and the potential impact of those experiences on persons coming into contact with the criminal justice system, along with applicable case law.
This resource is currently in development and will be available in late 2019.
