This book is tailor made for a class on the criminal adjudication process, covering all essential post-investigation steps, from 鈥渂ail to jail鈥�. Because the book includes an overview of the criminal process and comprehensive treatment of the right to counsel, it is easily adaptable, permitting teachers to use it for a stand-alone course on criminal prosecutions, a second criminal procedure course to follow a class on police practices and investigations, or an introductory criminal procedure course that students may take before taking a class on the investigative phases. The chapters provide in depth coverage of developing law, often incorporating the latest empirical information, state law trends, ethical rules, and policy debates.

Topics include:

• pretrial detention and release
• the charging decision
• preliminary hearing and grand jury review,
• discovery and disclosure,
• plea bargaining,
• trial,
• double jeopardy,
• sentencing,
• appellate and post-conviction review
