Description

"This publication covers the law governing the criminal process, excluding sentencing. The first half of the book examines legal strictures on investigative techniques--search and seizure, interrogation, subpoenas, identification procedures, and undercover work--and the second half discusses the adjudicatory process, from pretrial detention and the charging decision through preliminary hearings, discovery, plea bargaining, trial, appeal, and habeas, as well as double-jeopardy doctrine, right-to-counsel issues, and state constitutional law. Each chapter ends with a summary of the law and a bibliography."--Publisher's website.
