Cases and Materials on Juvenile Justice Administration

Barry C. Feld

This casebook focuses on three themes: legal, administrative, and policy issues associated with regulating children rather than adults; procedural and substantive implications of a justice system that emphasizes treatment rather than punishment; and tensions between discretion and rules that occur when states treat children rather than punish adults. It examines adolescents' competence to exercise procedural rights and changing conceptions of their culpability which affect their dispositions in juvenile courts and sentences as adults in criminal courts. It incorporates empirical evaluations, developmental psychological and neuroscience research on adolescent competence, and presents criminological studies of controversial issues such as gender and racial disparities in juvenile justice administration. It examines pretrial detention and alternative sentencing options available to juvenile courts and discusses how and when states try youths in criminal court. This edition includes the Supreme Court's recent Eighth Amendment decisions that recognized that children are different and limit judges' sentencing authority; Fifth Amendment decisions that reappraise the impact of youthfulness during interrogation; and Fourth Amendment decisions affecting school officials' authority to search.

Federal White Collar Crime

Julie R. O'Sullivan

This casebook covers the theory and practice of domestic and transnational federal white-collar criminal investigations and prosecutions. It includes extensive coverage of the most commonly charged crimes including perjury; false statements; false claims; obstruction of justice; mail, wire, bank, and securities fraud; public corruption; insider trading; conspiracy; the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO); and money laundering. Chapters focus on essential issues of mens rea, entity liability, and individual and organizational sentencing. The casebook also tackles procedural issues critical to white-collar practice, such as grand jury, discovery, the attorney-client privilege, Fifth Amendment issues, parallel proceedings, and more. Given the increasingly transnational nature of the practice, a final chapter covers the extraterritorial application of white-collar statutes and issues raised by international internal investigations, evidence gathering abroad, and extradition.Among other changes, the Eighth Edition addresses important decisions and changes in many areas, such as: Introduction: querying whether white-collar criminals are "privileged"; Mens Rea: added discussion of Rehaif v. United States, problems, and a background section designed to make the materials easier for students to understand; Entity Liability: updated Principles of Federal Prosecution of Business Organizations and discussed the evolution of relevant DOJ policies; False Statements: added a note regarding the DOJ's position on materiality in the context of § 1001 in the Flynn case; Obstruction: added notes, and a problem, regarding various theories of obstruction addressed to former President Trump's activities; Fraud and Corruption: added a note regarding Kelly v. United States and referenced Blaszczak v. United States; Corruption: added FCPA problems; Securities: added additional discussion of the status of the personal benefit requirement and included a discussion of Blaszczak; Money Laundering: added notes and text regarding the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 and a new subsection under emerging threats to reproduce FinCEN's advisory on cryptocurrency; Fifth Amendment: included a note regarding United States v. Connolly; Plea Bargaining: added AG Garland's charging policy; Transnational Practice: updated the reading on transnational corporate investigations and prosecutions.

Criminal Law

Joshua Dressler

This popular casebook, through the selection of classic and modern cases, provides an excellent tool for teaching students the common law foundations of the criminal law and modern statutory reforms, including the Model Penal Code. Along the way, the casebook considers modern controversies (e.g., "shaming" punishment, capital punishment, broadening sexual assault law, self-defense by battered women, police use of force in making arrests, euthanasia, the role of culture in determining culpability), offers exceptionally helpful and interesting (sometimes even humorous) Notes and Questions to guide students, and even "brain teasers" to confront (as the Preface states) "the Big Questions . . . that philosophers, theologians, scientists, and poets, as well as lawyers, have grappled with for centuries." The Ninth Edition, as in the past, includes new cases, as well as updates in the Notes that bring current criminal justice to the fore.

Criminal Law and Procedure

Donald A. Dripps

The fourteenth edition continues the book's commitment to offering the most comprehensive, rigorous, and flexible materials on the American criminal process. With respect to the substantive criminal law, the new edition includes:Full case treatment of United States v. Davis, 139 S.Ct. 2319 (2019), illustrating the Supreme Court's continued commitment to a robust understanding of the void-for-vagueness doctrine;An updated treatment of homicide in general, with particular attention paid to a new wave of hostility to the felony murder doctrine, including full case treatment of Commonwealth v. Brown, 477 Mass. 805, 81 N.E.3d (2017), abolishing the doctrine by statutory interpretation, and People v. Swanson, 57 Cal.App.5th 604 (Ca. App. 2020), applying S.B. No. 1437, a reform statute that curtailed both felony murder and the natural-and-probable consequences doctrine in homicide prosecutions.Full case treatment of Rehaif v. United States, 139 S.Ct. 2191 (2019), a decision exemplifying the Court's approach to imputing culpable mental states to conduct and circumstance elements in criminal statutes;Full case treatment of Kahler v. Kansas, 140 S.Ct. 1021 (2020), rejecting a constitutional challenge to the state's elimination of insanity as an affirmative defense, and presenting along the way at thorough history of various versions of the defense;State v. Harris, 2017 WL 1505219 (Del. C.P. Apr. 20, 2017), a remarkable report by a judge acquitting the accused of sexual assault charges, illustrating the peculiar difficulties of prosecuting rape cases as well as the mechanics of the trial process.With respect to criminal procedure, the main development is the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Carpenter v. United States, 138 S.Ct. 2206 (2018). Carpenter held that that federal agents violated the Fourth Amendment by obtaining seven days of location data, from the defendant's service provider, without first obtaining a search warrant. The new edition relies on a recent District Court opinion, United States v. Diggs, 385 F. Supp. 648 (N.D. Ill. 2019), to explain the important changes wrought by Carpenter.

International Criminal Law and Its Enforcement

Beth Van Schaack

This casebook provides comprehensive treatment of international criminal law in a problem-oriented way. It draws widely from the jurisprudence of the various international and hybrid criminal tribunals, United Nations bodies, regional human rights institutions, domestic courts, alternative or traditional courts, and transitional justice institutions. Its focus is on the core international crimes within the jurisdiction of the ICC, supplemented by chapters on the standalone crimes of torture and terrorism. This edition includes substantially more material from the International Criminal Court and the revival of the hybrids model, including revised materials on the crime of aggression, new jurisdictional theories, and controversial recent jurisprudence.

California Criminal Law

John E.B. Myers

California Criminal Law, 3rd Ed. is a comprehensive casebook on California criminal law. This casebook is for professors who emphasize case analysis and black letter law over legal theory. Thus, the book is practical and practice-focused. The book includes many cases to help first year students master the art of case briefing. As well, the book has many problems that challenge students to apply the law. The problems are well suited for class discussion. Most students appreciate the focus on California law. The book prepares students for internships in DA and PD offices. The book is designed to prepare students for criminal law questions on the bar exam. Although the emphasis is California law, the book prepares students for the multistate bar examination by covering the principles of criminal law tested on the multistate exam. Thus, the book prepares students for the bar in other states. Because California is not a Model Penal Code state, and because the MPC is not tested on the bar, the book places less emphasis than many casebooks on the MPC. For a number of topics, the book compares the MPC approach to California law.

Criminal Law, Cases and Materials

Cynthia Lee

This text, the only criminal law casebook authored by two progressive female law professors of color, provides the reader with both critical race and critical feminist theory perspectives on criminal law while following a traditional format. All of the usual subject areas are covered, but the book is unique in highlighting the cultural context of substantive criminal law.The book seamlessly integrates issues of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation so the teacher who wishes to address such issues does not have to assign supplemental reading assignments in order to do so. The book is also very student-friendly, providing a brief doctrinal overview of the subject matter at the beginning of each chapter.

Along the way, the casebook considers modern controversies (e.g., "shaming" punishment, capital punishment, broadening sexual assault law, self-defense by battered women, euthanasia, the role of culture in determining culpability), and creatively uses literature (e.g., examining insanity through Edgar Allen Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart) and even "brain teasers" to confront (as the Preface states) "the Big Questions . . . that philosophers, theologians, scientists, and poets, as well as lawyers, have grappled with for centuries." The Eighth Edition, as in the past, includes new cases, as well as updates in the notes that bring current issues of criminal law to the fore.

The Law and Policy of Sentencing

Lynn S. Branham

This softcover 10th Edition covers the law and policy of sentencing. Earlier editions of these books were combined in one hardcover book. They are now published in separate softcover volumes for the two discrete courses in which these subjects are now typically taught – Sentencing Law and Policy (Criminal Procedure III) and Correctional Law.This leading casebook on sentencing law and policy includes cases, statutes, court rules, sentencing guidelines, professional standards, articles, information on other countries' practices, and questions to provoke lively debates. The book spans such topics as plea bargaining, rights during sentencing, sentencing factors, community sentencing options, the death penalty, noncapital cases and the Eighth Amendment, parole release and revocation, and the enmeshed penalties (collateral consequences) that attend a conviction. New or expanded coverage of restorative justice and practices, racial and ethnic disparity in correctional supervision, criminal-justice-related fees, and other subjects accentuates this book's value on a core area of the law.
