Like many criminal procedure casebooks, this book takes most of its words from Supreme Court opinions interpreting the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments. When possible, it links to sources that it cites, such as court opinions and scholarly commentaries. It aims to present material clearly, without hiding the ball. In addition to covering black-letter law tested on the bar exam, the book explores the practical effects of Supreme Court doctrine on real people, and it encourages students to participate in ongoing debates about policing and prosecution.

This is an extremely comprehensive text. All areas of criminal procedure are accurately and thoroughly explained. I am considering this text for an undergrad class on search and seizure. I really like the concise but accurate nature of the case law that is explained. My only concern about this text at all are the large chunks of text without any headings, bullets or other visual elements. It might be better in a paper version where you can mark in the margins, but this book is difficult to read on the screen. If each case that was explained had consistent bullets like the ones below this book would be exactly what I need!

While section 3 is case law which does not lend itself to Modularity it could be better broken-up by some headings or other visual breaks. Especially reading the online version of this text it is a bit hard to follow. Consider bullet points in the Notes, Comments and Questions sections.

I really enjoyed the way this text is organized. It is easy to use in that each amendment is and doctrine has its own section. I do wonder it instead of 8 sections of warrant exception sections the authors could have labeled those for clarity ie exigent circumstances, arrest, consent, etc. Despite wishing for different labels these sections are excellent!

An open textbook for undergraduate Criminal Procedure courses that are typically required of criminal justice majors. The book uses U.S. Supreme Court opinions to illuminate the definition of rights concerning search and seizure, right to counsel, and other aspects of the criminal justice process. This open textbook seeks to make undergraduates familiar with judicial reasoning as well as the definitions of rights relevant to individuals who are drawn into contact with criminal justice officials. The chapters give significant attention to police procedures and individual rights under the Fourth Amendment related to searches, including those using warrants and the situations in which warrant searches are permissible. The book also covers rights in the context of police interrogation, including Miranda warnings and exceptions to the Miranda rule. In addition, there is coverage of the exclusionary rule, right to counsel, plea bargaining, and trial rights. It concludes with a brief examination of rights related to sentencing. This resource challenges undergraduates to understand the development and changes affecting rights as new decisions are issued by the U.S. Supreme Court.
