The distinctive approach used by Funk, Shapiro &amp; Weaver is characterized by two innovations. First, the primary pedagogical tool is problem solving. The second innovation, related to the first, is to orient the course around administrative law practice, rather than theory. While theory is not ignored, it arises out of the crucible of reality-based problems, providing a basis for students to appreciate the theory. The practice orientation is reflected in the problem approach, which involves the administrative process at all stages, from lobbying, internal agency deliberations, and client counseling to the more traditional judicial review. The Third Edition retains the approach of the original edition, and most of the problems and problem materials from the last edition are also retained. However, based on the feedback of users, the authors have fine-tuned some of the existing problems and replaced others and, of course, have updated the book in light of judicial and legislative developments that have occurred since the last edition.

Administrative Law

Thomson/West

Law school casebook that facilitates the development of advocacy skills. The problems and exercises were designed to place students in real-life situations and encourage students to think about how to handle such situations. 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.

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.
