While aimed at students, Joubert’s Strafprosesreg Handboek is increasingly being relied on by legal practitioners as a first port of call.  Like the previous editions, the revised and updated ninth edition of this book introduces readers to the fundamental principles and values underlying this area of the law, systematically guiding them through the rules of procedure that apply in criminal cases. This edition includes a useful list of references to the Child Justice Act.
