Civil Procedure

Sum & Substance

This casebook relies on Tennessee-specific statutes and cases to illustrate how abstract concepts of criminal law play out on the ground. The role of prosecutors in defining the law through their charging and plea bargaining decisions is emphasized throughout. The mental elements of crimes are analyzed in context, illustrating how the same mental element can be proven differently depending on whether the defendant knew, for instance, that he had stolen goods or illegal drugs. By mooring the discussion to the Tennessee Code, rather than the Model Penal Code, this book is a practical text for law students in Tennessee that does not sacrifice the philosophical discussions central to criminal law.

Criminal Law

This creative and original book provides ten independent exercises designed to help students master Criminal Law through real legal problems. Working with these exercises, students will tackle difficult criminal law questions to increase their understanding of the course topics while simultaneously developing skills in client interviewing and counseling, legal drafting, negotiation, and advocacy. These exercises also make it easier to integrate skills training into a traditional criminal law course. Each exercise is based on fundamental criminal law concepts so that the book can supplement any criminal law casebook. Students learn criminal law doctrine through problems requiring them to: 
<ul>
<li>Negotiate a plea agreement about an appropriate sentence</li>
<li>Interview and counsel clients about their charges</li>
<li>Write an email to a supervising prosecutor</li>
<li>Prepare a defense letter to a prosecutor countering a plea offer</li>
<li>Draft an amendment to a criminal statute</li>
<li>Make a closing argument</li>
</ul>The book also provides a brief overview and tips for effective interviewing, negotiation, and counseling to help students begin the process of mastering the relevant skills. And it situates the lawyering exercises in the context of related professional responsibility rules.
