Criminal Procedure, Cases, Problems and Exercises: Adjudicative Processes, 5th (American Casebook Series)

Friedland, Steve

Hoeffel, Janet

Singer, Stephen

As with prior editions, this fifth edition contains thought-provoking problems and is designed to encourage classroom discussion and help students effectively learn criminal procedure principles. 
Ideally suited for a year-long 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 terms.

Criminal Procedure: Cases, Problems and Exercises, 5th (American Casebook Series)

This study aid features an innovative method of content organization. Burkoff's Acing Criminal Law, 2d uses a checklist format to lead students through questions they need to ask to fully evaluate the legal problem they are trying to solve. It also synthesizes the material in a way that most students are unable to do on their own, and assembles the different issues, presenting a clear guide to procedural analysis that students can draw upon when writing their exams. Other study aids provide sample problems, but none offer the systematic approach to problem solving found in this book.
