“Concise
and
professional
yet
motivational

student
learning
and
instructor
engagement.
I
think
the
examples,
activities,

scenarios
are
the
critical
pieces
that
make
this
text
stand
out.”
“Clear, engaging and written well…easy to follow for students and instructors. It is a very thorough text and I like how the text presents the rule of law…”
“One of the best textbooks I have seen in this field. Not only is it set up well, but it clearly explains the theories and rules of law and supports the information presented with case law and rule life applications.”
“Excellent, new approach to connecting criminal procedure and law with current case material and relevant topics for new generational learners. It is different than most criminal procedure textbooks available in that it is modern and provides good context for new generation learners.”
