Description

Criminal Procedure and the Constitution Leading Supreme Court Cases and Introductory Text 2025 - ISBN - 9798895453353

This title is authored by nationally recognized experts in constitutional criminal procedure and is ideally suited for a survey course examining how the U.S. Supreme Court has addressed a wide range of complex and often controversial issues throughout the criminal process.

The book is distinguished by its balanced presentation, with careful attention given to the full spectrum of views expressed by the Justices in both landmark and recent decisions. Rather than offering brief excerpts from a large number of opinions, the editors have made thoughtful selections of key cases, allowing for deeper engagement with the Court’s reasoning and doctrinal development.

A hallmark of this volume is its concise format, achieved not through abridgment but through deliberate curation. Throughout the text, insightful introductory commentary provides essential historical and doctrinal context, helping students understand the significance of each case and how it fits into the broader evolution of constitutional criminal procedure.
