Criminal Law South Australia

Criminal Law South Australia (CLSA) is an indispensable tool for criminal law practitioners. All important legislation required for the conduct of a criminal matter from beginning to end is covered in this one publication, with commentary and annotations to legislative provisions authored by Master Peter Norman and Scott Henchliffe KC. Updates to CLSA are frequently very extensive and reflect recent jurisprudence and legislative change.

The publication is encyclopedic, and in 2022 underwent a structural transformation driven by feedback on improving practitioner usability. Key areas of coverage include: criminal law and procedure, evidence law, sentencing and bail, drug offences, vehicle offences, summary offences, as well as the Joint Criminal Rules 2022 and the Uniform Special Statutory Rules 2022. These rules will be annotated, along with the extensive annotations in CLSA for key SA criminal legislation: the Criminal Law Consolidation Act 1935, Criminal Procedure Act 1921, Evidence Act 1929, Summary Offences Act 1953, and the Sentencing Act 2017.
