Stone's Justices' Manual

Stone's Justices' Manual is a book published by LexisNexis Butterworths. It is "the standard work on summary procedure".[1] It displaced Burn's Justices of the Peace as the standard work on that subject from 1850 onwards.[2] By 1914, it was old, well-established and formidably large.[3]

Stone's Justices' Manual is published in June of every year, with an updating supplement published in October. An accompanying CD-ROM contains the full text plus additional resources such as the All England Law Reports.

Stone's Justices' Manual covers civil procedure, criminal law and litigation and provides comprehensive coverage of all new and amended legislation affecting the magistrates' courts. It also includes hundreds of new cases that set precedents or clarify particular principles of law.
