Download or read book Comprehensive Criminal Procedure written by Ronald Jay Allen and published by Aspen Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-13 with total page 2572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive Criminal Procedure, Fifth Edition is perfect for all introductory courses in criminal procedure law (including both investigation and adjudication courses, as well as comprehensive and survey courses). The casebook focuses primarily on constitutional criminal procedure law, but also covers relevant statutes and court rules. The casebook is deliberately challenging—it is designed for teachers who want to explore deeply not only the contemporary state of the law, but also its historical and theoretical foundations. The casebook incorporates a particular emphasis on empirical knowledge about the real-world impacts of law-in-action; the significance of race and class; the close relationship between criminal procedure law and substantive criminal law; the cold reality that hard choices sometimes must be made in a world of limited criminal justice resources; and, finally, the recognition that criminal procedure law always should strive to achieve both fairness to the accused and justice for society as a whole. New to the Fifth Edition: Cutting edge developments in caselaw, statutory material, and academic commentary An important reordering of certain areas of the Fourth Amendment and related materials that make them even more user-friendly Insightful examination of the turmoil in the modern Fourth Amendment cases as the Supreme Court, notably splintered over the appropriate methods of interpreting the Constitution, faces the implications of rapidly changing technology. The latest in case law, statutory material, and academic commentary about due process, the right to counsel, pretrial practice, guilty pleas, trial rights, sentencing, double jeopardy, and post-trial procedures Increased emphasis on the role of prosecutorial decision-making An updated treatment of the critical role of plea bargaining A new section on forfeitures and the Eighth Amendment Professors and students will benefit from: A rigorous and challenging criminal procedure casebook with careful presentation and editing A prestigious author team that incorporates the latest and most highly respected developments in legal scholarship in the field of criminal procedure law An appropriate balance of explanatory text and secondary material Thematic organization structured around important main themes Extensive revisions and updates A casebook that is the only criminal procedure casebook on the market today that enables students to understand the roots of the modern controversy over privacy and security in a digital age

Written in a student-friendly manner, the fourth edition of Criminal Procedure eschews excessive reliance on rhetorical questions and law review excerpts in favor of comprehensive exploration of black letter law and current 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 doctrine concerning habeas corpus relief. In addition to presenting the perspectives from various stakeholders (e.g. 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 each step of criminal adjudication, but also introduces issues at the forefront of modern criminal procedure debates. New to the Fourth Edition: The Fourth Edition has been thoroughly updated to provide analysis of important, recent decisions in the area of Criminal Procedure, including several decisions from the Supreme Court’s most recent terms and discussion of policy issues at the forefront of criminal law. Changes in Investigations chapters: New sections on excessive police force and on damage remedies for Fourth Amendment violations New cases, including Carpenter v. United States (application of the Fourth Amendment to cellular location information); Torres v. Madrid (what is a seizure); Virginia v. Collins (automobile exception to the Fourth Amendment); United States v. Byrd (exclusionary rule case about the ability of an unauthorized driver of a rental car to challenge a police search); Kansas v. Glover (reasonable suspicion for a car stop); and additional cases (yet to be decided) Changes in Adjudication chapters: New cases, including McCoy v. Louisiana (Sixth Amendment right to counsel); Ramos v. Louisiana (trial by jury); Flowers v. Mississippi (jury composition and selection); Jones v. Mississippi (sentencing); Bucklew v. Precythe (the death penalty); and Gamble v. United States (the dual sovereignty doctrine in double jeopardy) Professors and students will benefit from: Straightforward writing style and dynamic text Clear and not cluttered with law reviews excerpts Relies on cases and author essays rather than excerpts and rhetoric questions Presents thoughtfully edited principal and note cases Intuitive organization and chronological presentation Presents topics in easy-to-understand approach from investigation to prosecution to post-conviction relief Approachable organization based on common progression through criminal justice system Systematic and cohesive presentation of topics Explores underlying policy before heading into doctrinal specifics Practice-oriented features Discussion of important, modern criminal procedure issues Useful examples for future and current criminal law practitioners

Download or read book Comprehensive Criminal Procedure written by Ronald Jay Allen and published by Aspen Publishers. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an unparalleled team of authors with a wide range of backgrounds and expertise, Comprehensive Criminal Procedure, Third Edition, is a sophisticated cases-and-notes book that covers all the main topics for comprehensive criminal procedure courses, including police practices, pretrial, trial, and appellate and collateral review. The third edition has been updated throughout, and a number of chapters have been substantially revised to reflect recent developments. The authors have carefully edited all of the cases and notes to allow the addition of new material without significantly lengthening the book. In addition, Andrew Leipold, one of the nation's leading criminal procedure scholars, joins the author team, bringing a wealth of knowledge and teaching experience to the new edition. Comprehensive Criminal Procedure, Third Edition, retains the key features that have made it a classroom success: Comprehensive coverage and well-written notes. Appropriate balance of explanatory text and secondary material. Thematic organization, structured around important main themes: Real-world implications of alternative regulatory regimes The power of legislatures to indirectly eliminate procedural rights through changes in substantive criminal law Institutional relationships among courts, legislatures, prosecutors, and juries Criminal procedure law as a direct consequence of the effort to end racial discrimination in the United States Growing concern about the risk of erroneous convictions The impact of limited resources New to the Third Edition, which has been carefully edited with an eye to increased accessibility: Substantial revision of Chapter 3, Right to Counsel, fully incorporating recent and important developments in the areas of ineffective assistance and self-representation, and improving both content and organization of cases and notes throughout the chapter. Reworking of Chapter 6, the Fifth Amendment, taking into account the Supreme Court's recent line of Miranda decisions, as well as the recent dismantling of Michigan v. Jackson doctrine regarding the Sixth Amendment right to counsel. A more thematic approach to the adjudication half of the casebook(Chapters 8-17), highlighting the key institutional relationships (and occasional conflicts) between courts, legislatures, prosecutors, and juries that affect the handling of cases within the criminal justice system, as seen most notably in such areas as charging decisions, plea bargaining, and sentencing law and policy; and the latent (but perhaps inherent) tension between lay participation in criminal cases (i.e., the jury) and the core criminal justice values of accurate and unbiased adjudication. Addition of new Chapter 10, Pretrial Screening and the Grand Jury, focusing primarily on the grand jury and consolidating material that previously appeared in several different chapters. Significant expansion and reorganization of Chapter 11, Scope of the Prosecution, which now includes venue, as well as speedytrial, joinder, and severance. Up-to-the-minute treatment of Crawford doctrine in Chapter 14, The Jury and the Criminal Trial, covering the scope and meaning of the defendant's Sixth Amendment right to confront the witnesses against him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Criminal Procedures: The Police, by Marc Miller, Ronald Wright, Jenia Turner, and Kay Levine, focuses on the interactions among multiple institutions in shaping the law of Criminal Procedure, bringing state courts, legislatures, prosecutor offices, and police department policymakers into the picture alongside the U.S. Supreme Court.

Criminal Procedures: The Police: Cases, Statutes, and Executive Materials, Seventh Edition, is a comprehensive treatment of criminal procedure that depicts the enormous variety within criminal justice systems by examining the procedures and policies of both federal and state systems and looking at sources of law and doctrine from multiple institutions. This “real-world” text offers students and instructors a deliberate focus on the realities of the high-volume circumstances that surround criminal procedure. The currency and timeliness of the Seventh Edition of this highly regarded casebook are ensured by an updated selection of cases and statutes as well as expanded coverage of important areas. This time- and classroom-tested casebook: Surveys the constitutional, statutory, and administrative doctrines and practices that shape how the police interact with citizens and investigate crimes; examines the procedures and policies of both federal and state systems, as well as the assumptions and judgments underlying each, and how these systems interrelate and sometimes compete with one another; looks at sources of law and doctrine from multiple institutions, including U.S. Supreme Court cases, state high court cases, statutes, rules of procedure, and police and prosecutorial policies; explores the influence of politics within various institutions of law enforcement and the role of public pressure on policing and procedure with regard to terrorism, drug trafficking, domestic abuse, and the treatment of crime victims; compares U.S. practices with the criminal investigations that happen in other countries; investigates the impact of criminal procedures on law enforcers, lawyers, courts, communities, defendants, and victims through the use of interdisciplinary materials. New to the 7th Edition: New organization for the search and seizure chapters to better reflect long-term doctrinal changes. Coverage of new design options for police organizations, inspired by the “Defund the Police” movement. Spotlighting the Breonna Taylor tragedy in Louisville as a focal point for discussion of no-knock warrants. Emphasis throughout the search and seizure chapters on the interaction between technology and doctrinal change. Professors and students will benefit from: Materials that support class discussion, including criminal court actors beyond the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court: the vision is “street-level federalism.” Materials that portray for students the range of current practices in criminal justice rather than a rushed historical narrative about doctrinal trends. Supporting website that offers exemplar documents from legal practice, recent news with relevance for criminal procedure, and brief video lectures to introduce each major unit. Emphasis on high-volume practical issues in criminal procedure instead of intricate but rarely-encountered questions. Intuitive organization (particularly in the search and seizure units) that makes it easy to see connections among different areas of the law.

CasebookConnect offers you what you need most to be successful in your law school classes - portability, meaningful feedback, and greater efficiency. Criminal Procedure: Adjudication and Right to Counsel is for courses on criminal procedure law that focus on the issues pertaining to the adjudication of criminal cases. It is a spin-off of Comprehensive Criminal Procedure, by the same team of authors, which covers both the investigatory and adjudicatory aspects of criminal procedure law. The casebook focuses primarily on constitutional criminal procedure law, but also covers relevant statutes and court rules. The casebook is deliberately challenging--it is designed for teachers who want to explore deeply not only the contemporary state of the law, but also its historical and theoretical foundations. The casebook incorporates a particular emphasis on empirical knowledge about the real-world impacts of law-in-action; the significance of race and class; the close relationship between criminal procedure law and substantive criminal law; the cold reality that hard choices sometimes must be made in a world of limited criminal justice resources; and, finally, the recognition that criminal procedure law always should strive to achieve both fairness to the accused and justice for society as a whole. New to the 2nd Edition: We have added a wonderful new co-author, Yale Professor Tracey Meares, whose special expertise in the law and policy of police investigations has enriched the casebook tremendously. The Introduction chapter has been updated with a number of new scholarly writings that provide an overview of important aspects of criminal procedure law. The Right to Counsel chapter incorporates the new wave of structural reform litigation over the often-crushing caseloads and frequently inadequate resources of public defender offices; the chapter has also been completely reorganized for clarity and ease of teaching. The Jury and the Criminal Trial chapter has been revised to include the latest developments concerning the Confrontation Clause and the continuing evolution of the Crawford doctrine. The Sentencing chapter has been updated to include the most recent of the Supreme Court's line of Apprendi/Blakely/Booker decisions. All chapters in the casebook have been updated wherever necessary, and all have been re-edited and streamlined to improve their teachability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Justice, Criminal Justice is a thought-provoking examination of the U.S. legal system, focusing on how criminal justice and social justice are related. The book provides a solid foundation of key philosophical and theoretical issues and goes on to examine the function of the law as it relates to social justice issues. The authors present and explain the foundational legal documents of the United States, and critically examine how those same documents, which espoused the rhetoric of equality for all, contribute toward the perpetuation and maintenance of a system of exclusion for groups with minority status, such as racial and ethnic minorities, the poor, women, and the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) community. Succinct but comprehensive, this text offers a careful examination of possible relationships between social justice theory and criminal justice practice and illuminates the role that the legal system has played in both preventing and assisting social change and power dynamics. For each identified group, important landmark court decisions are used to demonstrate the plight of the powerless and the quest for equal rights. The book provides an important perspective and understanding of the relationships among criminal justice, social justice, and the law. Suitable for undergraduate and early graduate courses in Social Justice, Justice Studies, Critical Issues, Ethics, and American Government and Law, this text provides easily digestible content for those interested in thinking critically about the U.S. legal system.
