Core Criminal Procedure
by
Law students want and need bar-style resources to increase their chances of success in class and on the bar exam. Many materials are inadequate because they either provide comprehensive coverage in non-bar-style formats, or use bar-style formats but don't provide comprehensive coverage. This book fills the gap by providing bar-style multiple choice questions that can be used formatively, as students are learning the material in Criminal Procedure class. The questions follow the same format used by the National Conference of Bar Examiners on the Multistate Bar Exam, so students can hone their bar exam skills at the same time. The first half of the book consists of 450 multiple choice questions, divided among three chapters -- Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, and Sixth Amendment. The questions in each chapter are grouped together by topic, e.g., warrantless arrests, Terry stop and frisk. Within each topic, the questions begin with the basics and increase in complexity. The second half of the book provides brief explanations, with relevant citations to Supreme Court decisions. Students can use this book together with their assigned Criminal Procedure textbook, knowing that the questions will complement the casebook readings and help them develop their test-taking skills.

Model Problems and Outstanding Answers: Criminal Procedure
by
In a criminal procedure class, students are asked to determine whether a citizen's constitutional rights were violated, and this question is consistently posed under a myriad of factual circumstances. In order to answer the query, students would need to examine and discuss the United States Supreme Court's interpretations of the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments of the US Constitution, identifying many tests and standards from those examinations and spirited discussions. Criminal Procedure: Model Problems and Outstanding Answers documents a few of the United States Supreme Court's tests and standards from these amendments to provide a more accurate assessment of whether a "right" under the Constitution has retained its full vitality, or whether it has been modified or made less vital than originally intended.Oxford University Press equips students with an accessible guide to acing challenging criminal procedure law exams. In Criminal Procedure: Model Problems and Outstanding Answers, Carlton Bailey helps students demonstrate their knowledge of criminal procedure in the structured and sophisticated manner that professors expect on law school exams. This book provides clear introductions on the fundamental topics in criminal procedure, provides hypotheticals similar to those that students can expect to see on an exam (including multi-issue questions), and offers model answers to those hypotheticals. Professor Bailey then coaches students in how to evaluate their own work with a comprehensive self-analysis section. This book prepares students by challenging them to use the law they learn in class while also explaining the best way to express sophisticated answers on law school exams.

The treatise covers the most important United States Supreme Court cases in the adjudicatory portion of criminal procedure and, where pertinent, the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, federal statutes, and lower federal and state court cases are considered.

Skills and Values
by
The Skills & Values Series is an innovative hybrid series of subject-specific, practice-oriented books. The series is designed as a tool for professors to teach practical and analytical skills that can help students serve future clients competently, skillfully, and in an ethical manner. Skills & Values: Criminal Procedure allows students to experience the connection among theory, doctrine, and practice in criminal procedure law. The exercises provide an opportunity for studying concepts from the perspective of a practicing attorney who must not only know the law, but also employ lawyering skills and values--such as legal strategy, factual development, advocacy, counseling, drafting, problem solving, and ethical principles--in zealously representing a client. Each chapter in Skills & Values: Criminal Procedure addresses a specific topic covered in most criminal procedure law school courses. The chapters begin with an introduction to help bridge the gap between the actual practice of law and the doctrine and theory studied in class. Students will then have the opportunity to engage in active, "hands-on" learning by working through a stand-alone exercise that simulates a real-life legal dilemma. The exercises are as authentic as possible, incorporating materials such as legal pleadings, motions, correspondence, judicial opinions, statutes, discovery materials, and deposition excerpts. The self-assessment tool included at the end of each chapter suggests ways that a practicing attorney might have approached each exercise. It is not meant to provide "the answer," but to identify issues and strategies students should have considered in order to effectively represent a client.
