Criminal Procedure in Practice

Criminal Procedure in Practice provides practical guidance for attorneys on all the stages of a criminal case from the police investigation immediately following the crime, to issues involving the double jeopardy clause. The book interprets constitutional principals, case law, and commentary that apply to both the prosecution and defense in federal, state, or military courts. It includes analysis by Paul Marcus, the Haynes Professor of Law at the College of William and Mary Marshall-Wythe School of Law and practice comments by Jack Zimmermann, a lawyer with 26 years of experience as a prosecutor, defense lawyer, and trial judge. In addition to the commentary, the book incorporates helpful Checklists, Cautions, Warnings, Practice Tips, Techniques, Tactics, Forms and Strategies throughout the text, which are valuable to students and lawyers with little or no practical experience.
