For centuries, the writ of habeas corpus has served as an important safeguard against miscarriages of justice, and today it remains at the center of some of the most contentious issues of our time—among them terrorism, immigration, crime, and the death penalty. Yet, in recent decades, habeas has been seriously abused. In this book, Nancy J. King and Joseph L. Hoffmann argue that habeas should be exercised with greater prudence. Through historical, empirical, and legal analysis, as well as illustrative case studies, the authors examine the current use of the writ in the United States and offer sound reform proposals to help ensure its ongoing vitality in today’s justice system. Comprehensive and thoroughly grounded in a modern understanding of habeas corpus, this informative book will be an insightful read for legal scholars and anyone interested in the importance of habeas corpus for American government.

When the authors created the first edition of Comprehensive Criminal Procedure, they tied it to contemporary thinking in the field and made it reflect the realities of the course as it is actually taught, covering both investigative and adjudicative topics. For the Second Edition, they revise and refine their materials to present the very latest developments in the field. 
The casebook builds on the strengths that gained it so many adoptions: 
<li>comprehensive coverage of all the main topics for a criminal procedure course that treats police practices, trial, and post-trial -- including a full chapter on sentencing, an important subject that other books often fail to detail </li>
<li>excellent case selection and editing to portray the key issues </li>
<li>expertise of the authors, who draw on their varied backgrounds to bring intellectual depth and sophistication to the book </li>
<li>"law and society" approach, grounded in empirical research and the real-world consequences of court decisions </li>
<li>thoughtful, thematic organization around five main points: real-world implications of alternative regulatory regimes, the power of legislatures to indirectly eliminate procedural rights through changes in substantive criminal law, modern law of criminal procedure as a direct result of the effort to eliminate racial disparities in the U.S., implications of limited resources, and an emphasis on history, viewing criminal procedure as informed by its past </li>
<li>well-written notes that challenge students to carefully consider the ideas and questions raised </li>
<li>appropriate balance of explanatory text and secondary material to ensure a manageable length </li>
<li>substantial chapter on the increasingly important topic of plea bargaining The Second Edition responds to changes in the law, as well as to user feedback: 
</li>
<li>new discussion of "critical stages" in the chapter on Right to Counsel </li>
<li>timely coverage of post-9/11 issues, such as profiling, terrorism investigations, and detention </li>

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: <ul>
<li>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.</li> <li>The Introduction chapter has been updated with a number of new scholarly writings that provide an overview of important aspects of criminal procedure law.</li> <li>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 office.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>The Sentencing chapter has been updated to include the most recent of the Supreme Court’s line of Apprendi/Blakely/Booker decisions.</li> </ul>

Defining Crimes, by the distinguished author team of William J. Stuntz (late of Harvard) and Joseph L.
