The fourth edition contains thought-provoking problems, and is designed to encourage classroom discussion, and help students effectively learn criminal procedure principles. Ideally suited for a one-semester course, this casebook contains all the essential decisions without being overwritten or so massive as to be unwieldy. In addition, the new edition is completely up-to-date containing the latest decisions from the United States Supreme Court, as well as problems based on important lower court decisions. Criminal Procedure: Cases, Problems and Exercises is unique because the authors actively seek to place students in situations that they are likely to encounter in practice, and asks students to think about how they might handle those situations (e.g., what does a lawyer do when asked to represent a client at a lineup?). For this new edition, the authors have added a significant number of new problems. They have also added important cases from the United States Supreme Court's recent

As one participant in the litigation noted, the controversy surrounding the Dalkon Shield constitutes the "largest product liability medical malpractice group of cases in 20th century America." This volume brings together the many complex facts of the Dalkon Shield story and the decade of litigation into a manageable, readable format. 
At the same time, Bacigal considers the role that a trial judge plays in such complex litigation. The traditional notion of detached and neutral judges seems inappropriate in resolving a legal dispute that involved hundreds of thousands of victims in a common disaster. The judicial roles played by Judge Lord and Judge Merhige have received both considerable praise and criticism from legal scholars and the general public. 
This volume goes beyond existing volumes dealing with the Dalkon Shield cases because it includes the bankruptcy proceedings. By "completing the story," Bacigal provides an overview of the controversy from the creation of the shield through the completion of the litigation, thus evaluating the legal and pragmatic difficulties encountered in utilizing bankruptcy as a means of resolving mass tort litigation.

Law Practice

This edition is a substantial modernization of a casebook that began in 1973 with Professor Fred E. Inbau and now includes Andre Moenssens, Ronald Bacigal, Gerald Ashdown, and Adam Gershowitz. The book maintains the format of the subject matter structure but adds many new cases to strike new themes that modernize the book making it more meaningful for contemporary law students. A number of chapters have been substantially reworked to make them more accessible to teachers and students alike. The authors reworked chapters six, seven, eight and eleven but as in past editions, the book begins with a brief outline of criminal procedure so students have better insight into the criminal justice process.

The tenth edition of this casebook ― which began in 1973 with Professor Fred E. Inbau― includes two new chapters that modernize the study of criminal law. The first new chapter analyzes the law of drug possession and distribution and includes cases about the law of constructive possession, the line between possession and distribution, and the challenge of computing drug quantity. The tenth edition also includes a new chapter on driving while intoxicated, a crime that is central to the criminal justice system but which is absent from every other criminal law casebook. We challenge students to unpack each element of DWI statutes by determining what constitutes a vehicle, what qualifies as operation, what it means to be intoxicated, and what counts as a public road. In addition, the new DWI chapter also explores the difficult statutory interpretation issues created by the texting while driving statutes that have recently been enacted across the country. This is the first casebook to offer an in depth exploration of these modern offenses that account for millions of arrests and citations each year. At the same time, the book retains the core common law crimes and classic cases that are a staple of traditional criminal law courses.

As a part of our CasebookPlus offering, you'll receive a new print book along with lifetime digital access to the downloadable eBook. In addition, you'll receive 12-month online access to the Learning Library which includes quizzes tied specifically to your book, an outline starter and three leading study aids in that subject and the Gilbert® Law Dictionary. The included study aids are Criminal Law in a Nutshell, Acing Criminal Law and Exam Pro on Criminal Law, Objective. The tenth edition of this casebook ― which began in 1973 with Professor Fred E.

The eleventh edition of this casebook modernizes and streamlines the materials to focus more effectively on the study of criminal law. The new edition carves out a separate chapter on self-defense, defense of property, and defense of others, while otherwise maintaining the structure of the book from prior editions. Multiple chapters have been reworked to eliminate older cases and notes to make the book more accessible to both teachers and students. The eleventh edition also maintains the unique chapters on drug possession, drug distribution, drunk driving, and texting while driving that were added to the tenth edition. These core subjects are addressed in greater detail in this casebook than any other criminal law textbook. The authors have also updated the introductory materials to provide students with the most current picture and statistics about what is really happening in the American criminal justice system.
