Adjudicative Criminal Procedure by Jens David Ohlin Pdf

Adjudicative Criminal Procedure: Doctrine, Application, and Practice by Jens David Ohlin is designed to respond to the changing nature of teaching law by offering a flexible approach with an emphasis on application. Each chapter focuses on Supreme Court cases that articulate the constitutional requirements, while call-out boxes outline statutes or state constitutional law provisions that impose more stringent rules. Short problem cases, also in boxes, ask students to apply these principles to new fact patterns. Each chapter ends with a Practice and Policy section that delves deeper into the conceptual and practical obstacles to the realization of procedural rights in the daily practice of criminal law. The result is a modular format, presented in a lively visual style, which recognizes and supports the diverse pedagogical approaches by today’s leading criminal procedure professors. Professors and students will benefit from: A mixture of classic and new Supreme Court cases on criminal procedure Call-out boxes that outline statutory requirements Call-out boxes that focus on more demanding state law rules Problem cases that require students to apply the law to new facts A Practice and Policy section which allows a deeper investigation of doctrinal and policy controversies, but whose placement at the end of each chapter maximizes instructors’ freedom to focus on the materials that most interest them Notes and questions, inviting closer examination of doctrine and generate class discussion Innovative pedagogy, emphasizing application of law to facts (while still retaining enough flexibility so as to be useful for a variety of professors with different teaching styles) Logical organization and manageable length Open, two-color design with appealing visual elements (including carefully-selected photographs)

Criminal Procedures by Marc L. Miller,Ronald F. Wright Pdf

In Criminal Procedures: Prosecution and Adjudication: Cases, Statutes, and Executive Materials, Sixth Edition, the highly respected author team presents a student-friendly, comprehensive survey of the laws and practices at work between the time a person is charged and the moment when the courts hear an appeal after the offender’s conviction and sentence. In the Sixth Edition, the authors retain the vitality and contemporary approach of the book with an updated selection of cases, statutes, and office policies. Covering in detail the “bail-to-jail” portions of the criminal process, this casebook features: Extensive use of documents from multiple institutions including U.S. Supreme Court cases, state high court cases, state and federal statutes, rules of procedure, and prosecutorial policies A real world perspective that focuses on high-volume issues of current importance to defendants, lawyers, courts, legislators, and the public instead of intricate but rarely-encountered questions Interdisciplinary examination of the impact that different procedures have on the enforcers, lawyers, courts, communities, defendants, and victims Points of comparison between U.S. practices and the systems at work in other countries Frequent use of Problems to give the instructor options for applying concepts and doctrines in realistic practice settings. New to the Sixth Edition: Two new authors join the editorial team: Jenia I. Turner of SMU Dedman School of Law and Kay L. Levine of Emory University School of Law: With her doctoral training in Socio-Legal Studies and her balanced experience as a prosecutor and a defense attorney in state court, Professor Levine sharpens the focus of the book on the real-world operation of courtroom actors in high-volume state systems. With her background in international criminal tribunals and comparative criminal procedure, Professor Turner strengthens the comparisons between court systems in the U.S. and those around the world. As experienced and celebrated classroom teachers, both Professors Turner and Levine bring closer attention to student learning needs in every chapter of the book. A revamped Chapter 2 surveys the major changes in the use of money bail and risk assessment algorithms, previewing the prospects for further system reforms. Chapter 3 covers newsworthy recent changes in the charging policies and diversion practices of prosecutors’ offices, especially those in urban areas such as Philadelphia. Chapter 7 expands its coverage of the tensions between fair trials and public trials, including new materials on public access to court files and statistics. A refocused Chapter 9 provides a more detailed and vivid portrait of sentencing hearings and the use of risk assessment instruments. Professors and students will benefit from: Materials that support class discussion, including criminal justice actors beyond the nine Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court: the vision is “street level federalism” Materials that give students a nuanced portrait of current practices in criminal justice rather than a rushed historical narrative about doctrinal trends A supporting website that offers exemplar documents, recent news with relevance for criminal procedure, and brief video lectures to introduce each major unit Intuitive organization—tracking the typical order of events in criminal court—that makes it easy to see connections among different areas of the law

Criminal Procedure by Jeffrey Bellin,Adam Gershowitz Pdf

This book is what you might think of as a Marie Kondo version of criminal procedure: happiness by decluttering. Many of the leading criminal procedure textbooks are crowded with pages upon pages of notes and unanswered (and sometimes unanswerable) hypotheticals. We understand this impulse. The field of criminal procedure raises countless interesting questions that scholars would love to explore in great depth. However, we do not believe that law school casebooks should be designed for scholars. Rather, law school casebooks are for students who do not yet have an elementary understanding of the subject. After all, that is why they are in the class! To use another metaphor, we intend this book to be about the forest, not the trees, so that students can see the big picture more clearly.This criminal procedure textbook is first and foremost designed to be accessible to students. How did we do that? First, we have largely eliminated notes and questions except where they directly reinforce the doctrine or where they eliminate the need to include a lengthy excerpt. For instance, the double jeopardy chapter does not have notes about fascinating (but esoteric) mistrial issues. Rather, we include only a few problems that help students to practice and better understand the complicated Blockburger same offense test.Second, we have tried to make cases readable. The Supreme Court - especially the modern Court - is often verbose. When possible, we have cut unnecessary verbiage and eliminated concurrences and dissents that do not add essential context. To be sure, we have included some historic and important dissents. For instance, no discussion of the Batson test for peremptory challenges would be complete without Justice Marshall's powerful dissenting opinion objecting to the prejudice prong. We think Justice Marshall's dissent is the exception not the rule. Whenever possible, we have erred on the side of teaching law more succinctly.Third, we have not relied exclusively on Supreme Court decisions to teach the law. Where possible, we have opted for lower-court cases - both federal and state -- that clearly set out the law. Just as importantly, we have excerpted many federal and state statutes, as well as the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, because students can learn much simply by reading the statutes. In addition to a broader set of cases and statutes, we have also excerpted guidance documents that lawyers turn to every day. These documents -- for instance, the U.S. Attorney's Manual or state bail schedules -- do not have the force of law but criminal lawyers rely on them on a daily basis. Guidance documents can sometimes teach us as much about how criminal law works as statutes and court decisions. Finally, we have sought to include important parts of the criminal justice process that other textbooks often pass over. For instance, there are more than 4.7 million people in the United States on probation and parole. And in any given year courts revoke the probation or parole of hundreds of thousands of those individuals. See Bureau of Justice Statistics, Probation and Parole in the United States (2015). Because community supervision is an enormous part of the criminal justice system, we have devoted a chapter to "Leaving and Returning to Custody" that analyzes the process of both granting and revoking parole and probation.

Criminal Procedure-adjudication by Andrew Leipold Pdf

This readable book walks step-by-step through the criminal adjudication process, from the post-arrest bail decision and the right to counsel through the post-trial direct appeal. It analyzes the main cases and statutes in each area, showing how the doctrine has developed and its current state. The book also places great emphasis on the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, working through their text in a clear, understandable way, explaining not only the law but the strategic issues that a lawyer might face. This is the ideal book for the student who wants both a broad overview of how the parts of the process fit together and enough detail to understand the thorny problems that are most likely to arise on an exam and in practice. This book works equally well as a stand-alone text or as a supplement to a traditional casebook.

CasebookConnect offers you what you need most to be successful in your law school classes - portability, meaningful feedback, and greater efficiency. This looseleaf version of the Connected Casebook does not come with a binder. Criminal Procedure: Adjudication and Right to Counsel is for courses on criminal procedure law that focus on the issues pertaining to the adjudication of criminal cases. It is a spin-off of Comprehensive Criminal Procedure, by the same team of authors, which covers both the investigatory and adjudicatory aspects of criminal procedure law. The casebook focuses primarily on constitutional criminal procedure law, but also covers relevant statutes and court rules. It explores not only the contemporary state of the law, but also its historical and theoretical foundations. It incorporates a particular emphasis on empirical knowledge about the real-world impacts of law-in-action; the significance of race and class; the close relationship between criminal procedure law and substantive criminal law; the cold reality that hard choices sometimes must be made in a world of limited criminal justice resources; and, finally, the recognition that criminal procedure law always should strive to achieve both fairness to the accused and justice for society as a whole. New to the 2nd Edition: We have added a wonderful new co-author, Yale Professor Tracey Meares, whose special expertise in the law and policy of police investigations has enriched the casebook tremendously. The Introduction chapter has been updated with a number of new scholarly writings that provide an overview of important aspects of criminal procedure law. The Right to Counsel chapter incorporates the new wave of structural reform litigation over the often-crushing caseloads and frequently inadequate resources of public defender offices; the chapter has also been completely reorganized for clarity and ease of teaching. The Jury and the Criminal Trial chapter has been revised to include the latest developments concerning the Confrontation Clause and the continuing evolution of the Crawford doctrine. The Sentencing chapter has been updated to include the most recent of the Supreme Court's line of Apprendi/Blakely/Booker decisions.

Discussion of pretrial screening and the grand jury. In-depth coverage of the scope of the prosecution, including venue, as well as speedy trial, joinder, and severance.
