Description:Legal writing in plain English. Law books using plain English which is easy to understand using clear concise plain wording.Welcome to my series of law textbooks for beginners. What is Criminal Law?Criminal law governs crimes. Crimes are generally referred to as offences against the state. The standard of proof for crimes is "beyond a reasonable doubt." A crime is defined in law in Ireland as an act which may be punished by the State. The way in which a criminal offence is investigated and prosecuted depends on the type of crime involved. For these purposes criminal offences may be described in different ways such as:• Summary offences • Indictable offences • Minor offences • Serious offences • Arrestable offences There are two ways criminal offences can be tried in Irish law:• In the lower court (District Court) before a judge without a jury (summary).• In the higher courts (Circuit Criminal Court, Central Criminal Court) before a judge and jury (indictable).There are many legal phrases that non-lawyers don't understand. When you first start studying law the terminology (wording) or principles (rules) can be overwhelming, I have been teaching law for over 7 years and in that time I have taught mainly beginner or entry level students who have had some difficulty in the early stages of study and even faltering due to this whole new language which is the law, this textbook series was put together to help you to put the principles and terminology in plain English (ride with stabilisers) until such time as you are ready to revert to the terminology in the knowledge that you are more confident and knowledgeable and ready to ride that bike without stabilisers. The explanations in this book are not intended to be alternatives to legal terminology, rather a head start on the legal jargon, the reader will continue to use legal phrases when necessary.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
