To some minds, the problems method is an alternative pedagogical tool to the more traditional case method. PROBLEMS IN CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, however, is designed to help case method achieve its fullest potential and is meant to be used as a supplement to any casebook in criminal procedure. Without the problem method, teachers in criminal procedure generally require students to engage in a Socratic dialogue on case-by-case basis. While this allows the nuances of any given case to be explored, students frequently have trouble relating one case to another. Classroom hypotheticals bridge this gap to some extent, but they suffer the disadvantage of requiring students to respond without prior time to reflect. In addition, oral hypotheticals must often be factually simplistic to avoid confusion and undue consumption of class time. PROBLEMS IN CRIMINAL PROCEDURE avoids these shortcomings. The problems can be assigned in advance for preparation with case material. To prepare answers for the problems, students must synthesize case material from the entire assignment and frequently must incorporate material learned in earlier assignments. In reviewing the problems in class, the teacher has even a greater opportunity to develop rigorous case analysis than the traditional case method affords. Students are also afforded the opportunity to practice exam techniques throughout the semester. Unlike other pedagogical methods, the problem method requires students to do throughout the year exactly what they are required to do on final examinations.

Problems in Criminal Procedure (American Casebooks) (American Casebook Series)

Criminal Law

West

This book, which focuses on cases decided in the last decade, differs from similar casebooks in several ways – most notably its extensive use of problems and exercises. Each section includes an Introductory Problem to encourage students to think about the issues, and a review of problems at the end. This approach helps students become comfortable in applying the rules they have learned, and gives them the incentive to look closely at the language of the positive law itself. Exercises throughout encourage students to use their research skills to discover how state procedural standards compare with the federal rules and statutes.

Law school casebook that facilitates the development of advocacy skills.

At the same time, the book emphasizes intellectual content. Students are encouraged to evaluate policy considerations that underlie the law, and to consider the efficacy and wisdom of the United States Supreme Court's policy choices. Includes not only modern cases that reflect the current state of the law, but some older cases that help students understand and evaluate the modern approach.

Principles of Criminal Procedure (Concise Hornbook Series)

The third 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 last three terms.
