Description
Buy a new version of this Connected Casebook and receive ACCESS to the online e-book, practice questions from your favorite study aids, and an outline tool on CasebookConnect, the all in one learning solution for law school students. CasebookConnect offers you what you need most to be successful in your law school classes - portability, meaningful feedback, and greater efficiency. This looseleaf version of the Connected Casebook does not come with a binder. Defining Crimes, by the distinguished author team of William J. Stuntz (late of Harvard) and Joseph L. Hoffmann (Indiana), breaks from the tradition of Model Penal Code-centric casebooks and focuses instead on the rich intellectual and theoretical issues that arise from how crimes actually get defined and applied today by state and federal legislatures, trial and appellate courts, police, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and juries. The innovative approach of Defining Crimes enables the in-depth study of the problems and issues that affect the day-to-day contemporary practice of criminal law. New Features: New coverage of the controversial issue of police use of deadly force, which--together with the existing section on "stand your ground" laws--facilitates class discussion of the "Black Lives Matter" movement and the shootings of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and Eric Garner, among others. New chapter on Gun Crimes, including the Supreme Court's 2016 decision upholding the criminalization of gun ownership for those convicted of domestic violence crimes. Updated chapter on Federal Criminal Law, including the Court's 2016 Elonis decision. Updated coverage of criminal cases involving the over-prescription of opoid painkillers and other kinds of prescription medications. Updated materials on Rape, incorporating coverage of "yes means yes" laws and policies. New and comprehensive student assessment questions, written by the casebook authors, that will be posted to the companion website. ONLINE E-BOOK Law school comes with a lot of reading, so access your enhanced e-book anytime, anywhere to keep up with your coursework. Highlight, take notes in the margins, and search the full text to quickly find coverage of legal topics. PRACTICE QUESTIONS Quiz yourself before class and prep for your exam in the Study Center. Practice questions from Examples & Explanations, Emanuel Law Outlines, Emanuel Law in a Flash flashcards, and other best-selling study aid series help you study for exams while tracking your strengths and weaknesses to help optimize your study time. OUTLINE TOOL Most professors will tell you that starting your outline early is key to being successful in your law school classes. The Outline Tool automatically populates your notes and highlights from the e-book into an editable format to accelerate your outline creation and increase study time later in the semester.
