Description

Criminal Procedure: Constitutional Constraints Upon Investigation and Proof 10th Edition James J. Tomkovicz ISBN 9781531032623

The tenth edition of this criminal procedure casebook represents a collaboration between one of its original authors and the dynamic addition of Professor Jessica Berch. While the authorship has evolved, the edition remains true to the book’s core approach: allowing the Supreme Court to speak for itself through its opinions, supplemented by focused, concise commentary and thought-provoking practice problems for each topic.

This edition introduces one notable change—the removal of two chapters on largely dormant issues concerning constitutional protections against eyewitness identification. (Educators wishing to cover these topics can request copies of the removed chapters from the publisher or authors.) Otherwise, the tenth edition maintains the structure and spirit of previous editions.

Although the Supreme Court has not issued many recent opinions in the criminal procedure arena, this edition enriches understanding through updated notes analyzing the rulings and reasoning of existing cases. Additionally, the practice problems have been refreshed with new fact patterns and issues drawn from recent lower court decisions, and the bibliographies have been updated with current, relevant scholarship.
