Description

More than 68 million people have downloaded the hit podcast Serial and 19.3 million viewers have watched Netflix's documentary series, Making a Murderer. Both examples tell the true stories of criminal defendants' experiences with our justice system through footage or audio recordings of the actual trial--essentially opening the courtroom doors to the public at large. By relying heavily on practical materials to guide students through the substantive law, Investigative Criminal Procedure: Inside This Century's Most (In)Famous Cases does the same for law students. Each chapter focuses on specific "real-world" defendants such as James Holmes, OJ Simpson, and Brendan Dassey--among many others. Core cases are presented in a logical and easy-to-follow order. The book also includes access to an online casefile repository where students can find actual litigation documents from each case--such as complaints, search warrants, transcripts, and interrogation videos.
