Bail

Start with the bail mind maps

The Bail mind maps offer different starting points. One sets out the general right to bail, unconditional bail and the duty to surrender. Another focuses on conditional bail and notes that conditions may be imposed by the police or the courts. A further map brings together legislation and who can grant bail.

Begin with the map on the general right to bail and follow its branches. Then look at the map on conditions. Comparing the two gives you a way to organize the points before moving on to questions.

Practice with flashcards and your own quiz

The Police Power - Bail flashcards ask about the decision to grant bail, the general right to bail and grounds for refusal. The Bail flashcards also ask who can grant bail and what factors are taken into account. Use a deck after reading the maps: try to answer each question before checking the card.

With a free account, you can make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, and save quiz scores. For example, turn points from a map into a quiz, then return to the map to check your understanding after answering. The resources on this page were made by GoConqr users.

Place bail within the unit

Bail is one section of Criminal Procedure and Trial Process in Criminal law. A map on the page sets out stages at which bail can be granted, including pending further police investigations, following a police charge and during a pre-trial hearing. Use those stages to place the bail material within the unit.

The Bail Acts of Parliament flashcards offer another route through the material, using named Acts as prompts. Choose a resource that fits the point you want to practice and explore it at your own pace.
