Criminal Procedure

Criminal Procedure, 10th Edition, is a casebook that examines foundational constitutional principles governing criminal investigations and trials. The volume concentrates on core procedural protections established under the United States Constitution.

Coverage highlights Fourth Amendment search and seizure provisions, Fifth Amendment protections against unlawful confessions, and the Sixth Amendment right to counsel. The text integrates rulings from the U.S. Supreme Court addressing subjects such as searches involving canine officers, smartphone searches, historical cell phone records, and Miranda's constitutional status.

Practical forms, examples, notes, questions, and problems prompt students to evaluate how lower federal and state courts interpret Supreme Court precedent to resolve ongoing and emerging procedural controversies.
