Learning Criminal Procedure teaches students the law of criminal procedure by presenting clear, succinct rules for each topic, summaries of actual cases that illustrate how the rules operate in practice, and substantial excerpts from leading Supreme Court cases. The book highlights evolving or ambiguous areas of law and contains over one hundred review questions that can be used for classroom discussion or for reinforcing what the students learn in each chapter. The book's authors build on their combined decades of practical experience to explore the law in straightforward text that enables students to easily engage with the subject. The format of the book also frees up classroom time for problem-solving, student presentations, or other interactive exercises. The teacher's manual contains dozens of suggestions for such exercises and further problems for students to discuss during class.
