Criminal Procedure: Recent Cases Analyzed (American Casebook Series)

This book gives the author's analysis of the leading Supreme Court criminal procedure cases from the last seven years. It is drawn from his bi-monthly column from Trial Magazine, the magazine of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America. It provides insight into both the workings of the Supreme Court and how each case fits into the body of criminal procedure law. It covers a range of topics from investigation of criminal cases through habeas corpus review. In just a few pages, it captures the essence of each case and the author's analysis of what was good or bad, logical or illogical, about the Court's decision. Prior to becoming a law professor at Indiana University (Bloomington) the author served as a federal prosecutor and as a law clerk to (then) Justice Rehnquist of the U.S. Supreme Court.
