One-stop court guides

Our "one-stop" court guides are designed to help lawyers and court users navigate their way to and around unknown court buildings in unfamiliar towns across England & Wales

One-stop court guides

As junior barristers we have dragged our trolleys along inhospitable terrain trying to find many a court…only to find ourselves with no case papers, insufficient funds to pay unexpected charges to receive them at court by fax, and no clue where the nearest cashpoint was.

Our solution?

One-stop court guides, which include directions to the court, tips on court usage and the availability of advocate rooms, taxi and cashpoint details, as well as lunch and leisure updates.

We have visited all the courts listed in this supplement to root out and verify the information included, but do let us know if any of the details need to be updated.

The courts...so far

Non-molestation orders are meant to be the frontline defence against domestic abuse, yet their enforcement often falls short. Writing in NLJ this week, Jeni Kavanagh, Jessica Mortimer and Oliver Kavanagh analyse why the criminalisation of breach has failed to deliver consistent protection
Assisted dying remains one of the most fraught fault lines in English law, where compassion and criminal liability sit uncomfortably close. Writing in NLJ this week, Julie Gowland and Barny Croft of Birketts examine how acts motivated by care—booking travel, completing paperwork, or offering emotional support—can still fall within the wide reach of the Suicide Act 1961
