  Summary

Combining first-hand knowledge of the criminal procedure system with stellar constitutional law scholarship, Levenson and Chemerinsky now offer a free-standing and student-friendly casebook that focuses on the investigation phase of criminal procedure.

Written in the eminently articulate style that characterizes Chemerinsky�s Constitutional Law casebook, Criminal Procedure: Investigation offers:

* straightforward essays by the authors that illuminate principal and minor cases
* a first-chapter overview of criminal procedure that looks at
o the roles of the participant
o the progression of a case through the system
o key procedural rules and governing principles
o the Incorporation Doctrine
o the test for determining when new procedural rules should be applied retroactively
* a consistent and systematic chapter structure that
o introduces the topic
o discusses the history and development of the law
o cites examples from recent cases where the key issues have been raised
o offers an analytic critique of ;the resolution of the issue
* chronologically organized chapter topics that mirror the sequential ordering of the investigation process
* samples of legal pleadings that exemplify attorneys� actual arguments
* a panoramic perspective on practice as conveyed through the eyes of prosecutors, defense counsel, judges, police, and victims
* Supreme Court cases from the 2006-2007 term
* a detailed Teacher�sManual that offers questions and answers to support teaching and fuel class discussion
* an expanded teaching package that includes PowerPoint slides, a DVD that presents the facts and backgrounds of several key cases, and an author website

Sure, it is a pleasure to teach and to read, but you could decide to adopt it simply for the wealth of experience and expertise that Chemerinsky and Levenson bring to their subject.
