- Synopsis
- This book is what you might think of as a Marie Kondo version of criminal procedure: happiness by decluttering. Many of the leading criminal procedure textbooks are crowded with pages upon pages of notes and unanswered (and sometimes unanswerable) hypotheticals. We understand this impulse. The field of criminal procedure raises countless interesting questions that scholars would love to explore in great depth. However, we do not believe that law school casebooks should be designed for scholars. Rather, law school casebooks are for students who do not yet have an elementary understanding of the subject. After all, that is why they are in the class! To use another metaphor, we intend this book to be about the forest, not the trees, so that students can see the big picture more clearly.This criminal procedure textbook is first and foremost designed to be accessible to students. How did we do that? First, we have largely eliminated notes and questions except where they directly reinforce the doctrine or where they eliminate the need to include a lengthy excerpt. For instance, the double jeopardy chapter does not have notes about fascinating (but esoteric) mistrial issues.
