Description
Designed to respond to the changing nature of criminal law, Criminal Law: Doctrine, Application, and Practice offers a fresh approach that features a blend of criminal law theory, clear presentation of the doctrine, classic and modern cases, and an exploration of the practice and policy considerations of the doctrine. Materials are presented in a visually lively style, via a consistently structured pedagogy within each chapter: Doctrine (treatise-like explanation), Application (cases), and Practice/Policy (questions providing an opportunity for normative critique of the law and exploration of practical and strategic challenges facing criminal lawyers). Theory is integrated into the doctrine section rather than conveyed through law review excerpts, so as to help students make the necessary connections to doctrinal issues. Aggressively-edited cases help keep the length to a minimum, and modern cases will engage younger students and professors.
