Book excerpt: This study was first published as part of the influential Judicial Administration series published under the auspices of the National Conference of Judicial Councils. Originally published: New York: New York University Press, 1947. xxxi, 614 pp. "Lest its title lead to any misunderstanding as to the nature of this work, it should be observed that this volume is not a text book or a treatise on criminal procedure. It is a survey and a critique of the existing criminal procedure in England and the United States from an operative or practical standpoint, with an analysis of its desirable features and a scrutiny of its defects. The book is obviously a product of exhaustive research. Its material is exceedingly well classified and organized, and it gives the reader a clear understanding of the manner in which criminal justice is administered." -- ALEXANDER HOLTZOFF, 16 George Washington Law Review 155 1947-1948 "[L]awyers who practice in criminal courts and those who are interested in the improvement of a very vital part of the administration of justice will find this volume both interesting and instructive. Professor Orfield has presented us with a fine piece of constructive scholarship which must be considered in the light of his purpose and method, which consists of tracing the history of the subject, stating the law briefly and offering sound standards of reform." --LLOYD P. STRYKER, Columbia Law Review 1267 1948 LESTER BERNHARDT ORFIELD [1904-1989] was a professor at the University of Nebraska Law School from 1929-1947, Temple University from 1947- 1952 and Indiana University's Indianapolis Law School from 1952 until his retirement in 1968. His books include the six-volume set Criminal Procedure Under the Federal Rules (1966-1967), Criminal Appeals in America (1939), The Amending of the Federal Constitution (1942), The Growth of Scandinavian Law (1953) and Cases on International Law (second edition 1965).
