CRIMINAL PROCEDURE

Professor Friedman Syllabus Spring 2013

The casebook for the course will be Allen, Hoffmann, Livingston & Stuntz, Criminal Procedure: Investigation and Right to Counsel (2d ed.). You also should buy the 2012 Supplement to their Comprehensive Criminal Procedure. (Note: This is a supplement for a different casebook.) I have prepared some additional materials, which are available on Blackboard. Course assignments are tentative. I am very likely to adjust course assignments on a class-by-class basis. In addition, should we get through all this material early I will supplement the syllabus. There will be an in-class examination, part multiple choice or short answer and part essay. The essay portion will be entirely open book. You may use any materials you wish, with or without annotation. I have not decided whether the multiple choice/short answer will be open book.
