Description

Kamisar LaFave and Israel's Criminal Procedure: Adjudication 16th Edition Nancy King

ISBN 9781636590783

The Sixteenth Edition continues to provide comprehensive coverage of the constitutional, statutory, and ethical rules governing the criminal adjudicatory process. It presents clear explanations of black-letter law alongside some of the most thoughtful and provocative commentary in the field. Drawing on the latest empirical data, legislative developments, and policy and scholarly debates, the authors equip students to engage in rigorous critical analysis of criminal procedure and to evaluate proposals for reform.

This new edition places heightened emphasis on history, race, racial justice, and empirical research, situating doctrinal rules within their broader social and institutional contexts. By integrating doctrine with data and normative debate, the text frames criminal adjudication in a way that reinforces its status as the nation’s leading casebook for teaching criminal procedure.

The book addresses the full range of issues that arise in criminal adjudication, including:

  • The right to counsel

  • Pretrial release and detention

  • Prosecutorial discretion and charging decisions

  • Screening the charge through preliminary hearings and grand jury review

  • Charging instruments

  • Venue and location of prosecution

  • Joinder of charges and defendants

  • The right to a speedy trial

  • Discovery and disclosure obligations

  • Guilty pleas and plea bargaining

  • Jury trials and trial rights

  • Double Jeopardy

  • Sentencing

  • Appeals and postconviction review

Criminal Procedure: Adjudication comprises Chapters 1–5 and 13–29 from Kamisar, LaFave, and Israel’s Modern Criminal Procedure, Sixteenth Edition (2023), offering instructors a carefully curated and cohesive treatment of the adjudicatory phase of the criminal process.
