Leading Constitutional Cases on Criminal Justice (University Casebook Series)

The leader in its field, Leading Constitutional Cases on Criminal Justice is updated annually and includes all significant cases decided in the preceding Term of the Court. Cases are edited generously and presented in a simple, straightforward format, for use in courses on constitutional law and criminal justice. The 2014 edition was published in August and is available for fall classes.

The 2014 edition of Leading Constitutional Cases includes the opinion in Maryland v. King, 569 U.S. ___ (2013) (Fourth Amendment; DNA collection). It includes also notes on Fernandez v. California, 571 U.S. ___ (2014) (Fourth Amendment, consensual entry) and Riley v. California, 573 U.S. ___ (2014) (Fourth Amendment; seizure of cell phone). Past users will find that two cases, Winston v. Lee and Schmerber v. California, have been relocated within the general area of search and seizure, rather than, as previously, being placed with material about the privilege against compulsory self-incrimination.
