Author's replies

During a symposium at the University of Edinburgh and, again, in this issue of the Edinburgh Law Review, Antony Duff, Fiona Leverick, Martin Smith and Gabrielle Watson raised a number of challenges to my book Justice In-Between. A Study of Intermediate Criminal Verdicts.1 I feel honoured by the opportunity to converse about the book with such distinguished scholars and I am very grateful for the attention they have given to the work. In the space at my disposal, I endeavour to answer the most serious of these challenges. Unless stated otherwise, references to chapters, sections and pages are references to my book.
