Description

Criminal Procedure Chemerinsky 4th Edition ISBN: 9781543846058

The fourth edition of Criminal Procedure is designed to be student-friendly, favoring clear explanations of black letter law and current policy issues over rhetorical questions and dense law review excerpts.

Authored by two renowned scholars in criminal and constitutional law, this casebook adopts a chronological approach, walking students through the doctrine of criminal procedure from investigative rules to habeas corpus relief.

The text incorporates perspectives from all key stakeholders in the criminal justice system—defense attorneys, judges, prosecutors, and victims—while also providing practice-oriented materials like pleadings and motion papers to prepare students for real-world application.

By employing a systemic approach, Criminal Procedure guides students step-by-step through the criminal adjudication process while engaging with contemporary debates at the forefront of the field.
