One Comment to "Criminal Procedure: Cases, Problems and Materials, 4th"
The book is well made and about the same size as most law books, but there’s a lot of case law in the book that’s overruled. I guess the idea is to show you how procedure becomes law, but most of my classmates had no idea what probable cause really meant or when certain rights attached, until my professor explained it. I feel that’s because each case considers a legal theory that moves toward the actual law and Search and seizure is so important that you can’t just learn it in one class period.
It would be nice to just have a list of the exceptions somewhere, but they are not so simple to itemize with this book. -it has all the big cases though…and I hear we’ll need to quote each one for the MBE.
