    Practice

    Camille Morland is experienced in a wide variety of criminal cases, including those concerning allegations of dishonesty, violence and sexual offences.  She regularly conducts Crown Court trials on behalf of both prosecution and defence. A grade 3 prosecutor, she is experienced in dealing with the complex legal and practical issues which often beset a criminal case.  She is adept at dealing with the diverse needs of witnesses and has a particular interest in cases involving child witnesses and also vulnerable adults, especially in relation to the Mental Capacity Act (2005). Many of these cases feature the difficulties associated with reluctant or hostile witnesses.  The skills required when addressing these dilemmas are regularly utilised when acting on behalf of similarly vulnerable defendants, both adults and youths.

    Camille often conducts cases which concern controlled drugs and the ancillary issues generated by the Proceeds of Crime Act (2002).  She has recent experience in relation to cases concerning prohibited images, both for the prosecution and defence.
