Erwin Chemerinsky and Laurie L. Levenson bring to this casebook a wealth of experience as practicing attorneys, law professors, and authors.

eloquent and substantive writing that draws on deep wells of experience and scholarship
a dynamic and innovative pedagogy that includes tightly edited cases, author-written essays, legal pleadings that argue the issues, and the perspectives of prosecutors, defense counsel, judges, police, and victims
a chronological organization that walks the student through the criminal justice process, from the investigation to habeas corpus
a consistently systematic treatment of topics in every chapter:
an introduction to the underpinning issues of the law
discussion of the history and development of the law in response to those issues
examples of recent or seminal cases that have shaped the law
analysis of the success or failure of the law to adequately remedy the issue that gave rise to its inception
Supreme Court cases through October Term 2006, along with many familiar chestnuts
a detailed Teacher s Manual that includes questions and answers for classroom discussion

a different kind of law textbook November 6, 2009
J. Niehaus (Louisville, KY USA)

Criminal procedure casebooks tend to be collations of edited U. S. Supreme Court opinions and the author's sticky notes that are accumulated over a period of years and then put into print. The authors here try something different, with good effect. The purpose of the book, which is considerably shorter than most that cover both the "invesitgation" and "adjudication" aspects of criminal procedure, is announced to be "student friendly." It is that because the text is not cluttered up with a lot of notes and questions. It provides necessary but not excessive information. But it also clearly anticipates a lot of supplementation either by the materials available from the authors or materials developed by the instructor. A teacher who prefers a book that provides background for classes based on problems will like this book.
