Casenote Legal Briefs: Criminal Law - Keyed to Kaplan, Weisberg & Binder

These legal briefs show law students how to abstract the basic facts and holdings from the text of actual court opinions, with statements on the nature of the case, fact summaries, explanations of holdings and decisions, and editor analyses. Cases are organized in chapters on areas such as the purposes and limits of punishment, the criminal act, the guilty mind, unintentional homicide, and mental illness as a defense. Pages are perforated and three-hole-punched, and a glossary of common Latin words and phrases found in the law is included. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
