This book also contains an extensive Glossary of Words, Phrases and Abbreviations - which sets out 'The language of the System' - and serves to open up the world of the magistrates' courts to newcomers. As such, it is essential reading for anyone unfamiliar with magistrates' courts, joining the magistracy or, e.g. completing a project on those courts.
