Product Description
This book is suited especially for those schools offering two courses on criminal procedure, one dealing largely with police practices, the other placing primary emphasis on the post-police practices or investigation phases from bail to post-conviction review. Presents a basic structure of the American criminal justice process. Also includes materials on pretrial release, the decision of whether to prosecute, the preliminary hearing, and the grand jury review.

 Succinct Textbook September 28, 2005
R. Loubriel (New York, NY)
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This textbook gives succinct summaries of important case law and well edited case text. It avoids the common pitfall of textboks in that it gives only what is necessary and does not leave the student with unanswerable questions.
 Worst textbook I ever used March 28, 2008

Overly comprehensive. Stifling. This book gets lost in the trees without ever telling you where the forest is. This is the most dense textbook I've encountered and its treatment of jurisdictional differences should be left to independent study. Post-law school knowledge would suffice for the practitioner; simply providing a majority and minority position (where applicable of course) would do more for the student's understanding of adjudicatory criminal procedure.
