This book provides legal briefs for the top 100 cases that have formed the foundation of criminal law in the United States.
Each case brief will cover the facts, procedural history, issue, holding, rule, reasoning, disposition, dissents, or concurrences. Criminal law can be one of the most difficult areas to study in the law.
This book will go over some of the most important cases that have shaped criminal law over the decades. You'll learn everything from jurisdiction, venue, how to plead a complaint properly, and even an overview of class actions.
The most important part of each case will be the holding and rationale, so you can use these cases to apply to future fact patterns you encounter both in studying for a bar exam or practicing the law.
Also included is our criminal law course outline.
This outline is detailed and comprehensive, covering everything you might expect to learn in a typical law school criminal law course.
