Weaver, Abramson, Bacigal, Burkoff, Hancock, and Hoeffel's Criminal Procedure: Cases, Problems and Materials, 5th New

This fifth edition contains thought-provoking problems, designed to encourage classroom discussion and help students effectively learn criminal procedure principles. Ideally suited for a year-long course, the casebook contains all the essential decisions without being overwritten. In addition, the new edition is completely up to date, containing the latest decisions from the U.S. Supreme Court, as well as problems based on important lower court decisions. The text is unique because the authors actively seek to place students in situations that they are likely to encounter in practice and ask students to think about how they might handle those situations (e.g., what does a lawyer do when asked to represent a client at a lineup?). For this new edition, the authors have added a significant number of new problems. They have also added important cases from the Supreme Court's recent terms.
