The Glannon Guide to Criminal Law: Learning Criminal Law Through Multiple-Choice Questions and Analysis

The popular Glannon Guide to Criminal Law is a concise, clear, effective review of criminal law topics organized around multiple-choice questions. Employing a student-friendly, accessible tone, this text includes brief explanatory text about each topic under discussion, followed by one or two multiple-choice questions. After each question, the author explains how the correct choice was chosen and clarifies why other options were not correct. A more sophisticated "Closer" question at the end of each chapter challenges students to stretch their analytical abilities and examine subtle nuances of the topic. Unlike other titles, this approach emphasizes learning the concepts, rather than mastering test-taking techniques.

The author has thoroughly updated the Third Edition and has added numerous new hypotheticals including many that feature situations involving the Model Penal Code.
