Criminal Procedure and the Constitution Leading Supreme Court Cases and Introductory Text 2024 9798892090544

This volume, authored by nationally renowned experts in constitutional criminal procedure, is perfectly tailored for a survey course examining how the U.S. Supreme Court has addressed a broad spectrum of controversial issues arising at different stages of the criminal process. The book thoughtfully presents the perspectives of all members of the Court in landmark and recent significant cases, offering a balanced and comprehensive exploration of the field.

Rather than relying on excerpts from numerous opinions, the concise size of the text is achieved through the careful selection of pivotal cases. A standout feature of the book is its insightful introductory commentary, which provides historical and doctrinal context, helping students better understand the selected cases and their broader implications.

A Criminal Procedure course in law school focuses on the rules and constitutional principles governing the process of investigating and prosecuting crimes. It examines how the legal system balances the government's interest in enforcing the law with the rights of individuals. This class often draws heavily from the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, as well as related federal and state laws.
