Description

Kamisar, LaFave, and Israel's Modern Criminal Procedure 16th Edition Nancy King

ISBN 9781636590776

The Sixteenth Edition offers an authoritative and up-to-date examination of the constitutional, statutory, and ethical principles that govern the criminal investigation and adjudication process. It clearly presents black-letter law while incorporating some of the most thoughtful and challenging commentary in the field. This edition deepens its focus on critical issues such as racial justice, historical context, and empirical research—making it a uniquely powerful tool for both learning and teaching.

The authors provide a rich foundation for analysis by incorporating current data, emerging legislative developments, and ongoing scholarly and policy debates. This combination not only facilitates a deeper understanding of the law as it exists but also invites students to critically examine the structure, goals, and fairness of the criminal justice system.

Topics covered include:

Arrest, search, and seizure
Right to counsel
Police interrogation and confessions
Digital surveillance and undercover investigations
Lineups and pretrial identifications
Grand jury investigations
Pretrial release and bail
Prosecutorial discretion and charging decisions
Preliminary hearings and grand jury review
Drafting and screening the charging instrument
Joinder of charges and defendants
Venue and speedy trial rights
Discovery and disclosure obligations
Guilty pleas and plea bargaining
Jury trial rights and procedure
Double jeopardy protections
Sentencing principles
Appeals and postconviction remedies

With its broad scope, accessible structure, and timely focus on equity and reform, the Sixteenth Edition remains the premier casebook for teaching criminal procedure in today’s legal landscape.

Rental Terms

Return by May 25, 2027 for Spring 2027 rentals.

Late Fees: Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
Damage Fees: Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
Return Shipping: Returning your book is free with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it early and shipping it back within 30 days of your order date gets you a refund minus a 15% restocking fee and the label cost. After 30 days, an early return is free, with no refund.
30-Day Refund Window: Changed your mind? Cancel before your book ships and it’s free: open the order under My Account → Orders and click Cancel next to the book. Once it has shipped, you can return a rental for a refund from My Account → My Rentals. To qualify, the book must be shipped back within 30 days of your order date. We refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable. A rental shipped back after 30 days is a regular end-of-semester return, with no refund.
