The Law Pages is a legal resources site that provides a number of services and facilities for legal professionals, police officers, journalists, law students and the general public. Legal Directory A unique database of legal professionals (including barristers chambers, barristers, solicitors firms and expert witnesses) linked to court cases. The directory is designed to allow people not only to obtain information on the firms in their area, their contact details, their size, specialisms and so forth but also to read comments from other members of the public about the service that they received. Firms will be able to advertise and upgrade their basic profiles, and respond to any comments that are made about them. Legal Jobs Search legal jobs - including jobs at court, prisons and criminal justice organisations. Recruiters from across the spectrum of the legal profession can advertise jobs and find the very best person to fill their vacancy from a pool of candidates who regularly visit the site.

Magistrates Court lists are updated regulary, at short notice, and are not available here. The Magistrates Court lists are available outside the court hearing rooms. High court hearings lists are available here. If you would like to access county court hearing lists please register at courtel: https://www.courtserve.net/courtlists/current/county/indexv2county.php Criminal Sentences: The case reports on criminal sentences provide details of the court, defendant, offence/s, sentence term, sentencing remarks (where available), CPS, police forces and legal teams involved (where available). We do not hold details on any alleged offences or details on victims or witnesses in the cases. We do not publish every sentence. The sentencing tool itself is very simple. It is a database of sentences from across the UK allowing users to search for a range of sentencing information, from the length of a sentence for a particular offence through to the sentences handed down by a particular judge and the individuals acting in that case. Where a member of the directory has acted in a criminal case listed in our unique sentence tool they are linked.
