Criminal Procedure: Doctrine, Application, and Practice, Second Edition offers a flexible and practical approach to teaching criminal procedure, meeting the evolving needs of today’s law school classrooms. This casebook emphasizes real-world application, combining key Supreme Court decisions with modern visuals, problem-based learning, and policy discussions.

Each chapter focuses on foundational constitutional principles, using Supreme Court case law as a base, while call-out boxes highlight relevant statutes and stricter state constitutional provisions. Throughout, boxed hypotheticals challenge students to apply doctrine to new fact patterns. A “Practice and Policy” section at the end of each chapter deepens student understanding by exploring the gap between legal ideals and real-world outcomes.
