Customer Reviews

Invaluable with the Saltzburg text!

You MUST buy this if your class is using the textbook this guide is keyed to. It has very helpful quick outlines at the beginning of each chapter and then makes sense of every major case, throughout perfectly following the text. It was definitely my secret weapon for being better prepared for being called on in class and preparing for the final exam. Notes: The accompanying disk just contains the outlines already included the book in .txt format, and even though my disk was missing, I easily found the text outlines on the web. Also, this only covers the first half of the text. There is a second hornbook for the second half.

An outstanding study aid for any law student taking Crim Pro

This book is an exceptional outline of the law concerning the 4th, 5th and 6th amendments. It is well organized and completely thorough. While I would never suggest to a law student that they ignore reading all of the assigned cases in a particular class; this outline is so well done that you could rely upon it almost exclusively in your study preparation and still receive a good grade. I would also recommend this book to police officers, paralegals, or anyone else who needs to learn the intricate details of the law of search and seizure, confessions and the right to counsel. As a former student of Professor Capra, I was not suprised at the quality of this work.
