Criminal Procedure (Federal)

From Amazon: Written in a student-friendly manner, the third edition of Criminal Procedure eschews reliance on rhetorical questions and law review excerpts in favor of comprehensive exploration of black letter law and trendsetting policy issues. Authored by a pair of well-respected criminal and constitutional law scholars, Criminal Procedure utilizes a chronological approach that guides students through criminal procedure doctrine from rules governing law enforcement investigation to matters related to habeas corpus relief. In addition to presenting the perspectives from various stakeholders (i.e., defense attorneys, judges, prosecutors, and victims), the authors take care to provide students with useful, practice-oriented materials, including pleadings and motions papers. Criminal Procedure not only employs a systemic approach that takes students through issues from policy to application of legal doctrine, but also introduces issues at the forefront of modern criminal procedure debates.

This casebook offers instructors maximum pedagogical freedom to craft an exciting course using seminal U.S. Supreme Court cases, legal scholarship, social science research, interdisciplinary essays, and over 175 illuminating problems. Building on the strengths of the earlier editions, the Fifth Edition features relevant excerpts of law review articles, as well as significant media reports (which includes insights from respected legal experts and other commentary), noteworthy state and lower federal court decisions, emergent social science research, illustrative web links, and multiple, hypothetical problem-solving opportunities throughout a text that maintains its relevance and user-friendly structure for new and old adopters alike.
