Product Description
The fourth edition contains thought-provoking problems, and is designed to encourage classroom discussion, and help students effectively learn criminal procedure principles. Ideally suited for a one-semester 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.

The book is well made and about the same size as most law books, but there's a lot of case law in the book that's overruled. I guess the idea is to show you how procedure becomes law, but most of my classmates had no idea what probable cause really meant or when certain rights attached, until my professor explained it. I feel that's because each case considers a legal theory that moves toward the actual law and Search and seizure is so important that you can't just learn it in one class period.
It would be nice to just have a list of the exceptions somewhere, but they are not so simple to itemize with this book. -it has all the big cases though...and I hear we'll need to quote each one for the MBE.
