Criminal Law Solicitors Association

Represents criminal practitioners throughout England and Wales. Membership of the Association is open to any solicitor - prosecution or defence - and to court clerks, qualified or trainee - involved with, or interested in, the practice of criminal law. It is possible to search for a CLSA member solicitor by area (postcode), by name (of the solicitor or of the firm) or by the court. There is a news section and a good set of links in the general criminal area. There is also a members-only area with additional material.

Criminal Justice System Online

A portal for the Criminal Justice System, designed for both members of the public and professionals involved with the system. The sections for the general public include sections related to being a witness, a defendant or a juror. There are sections for victim support, crime prevention and even a virtual tour of 14 courts (although I personally could not get this to work). The sections for professionals include information about the LCD, the Attorney General and the Home Office, with subsections for the Police, Prisons, Probation, Youth Justice Board and Criminal Records Bureau. The site either provides information directly, or else links to the relevant external site for further information. There are also news items and publications available. It looks like a very useful starting point for many queries.
