A good criminal law casebook June 4, 2000
Chitown Reader (Chicago, IL)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This was my casebook for 1st year Criminal Law. It is a good casebook, and does a good job of summarizing the law in addition to a decent job of editing the cases. I would strongly recommend purchasing Understanding Criminal Law by Dressler in addition to this book.
