Aligned to the BSB Criminal Litigation Syllabus 2026 — Blackstone's Criminal Practice 2026.
This spreadsheet is a study and revision tracker aligned to the Bar Training Syllabus. It is a study aid, in no way a replacement for your required reading. Whilst every care has been taken to ensure that the rule and authority references are correct, this cannot be guaranteed; you should always defer to the syllabus as set by the BSB and to the primary source material.
