OAKLAND, CALIF.—The latest developments in criminal law for California lawyers, including recent decisions with dramatic implications for trial and posttrial proceedings, are examined in-depth in the new edition of California Criminal Law Procedure and Practice.

For decades California Criminal Law Procedure and Practice has been the most trusted and authoritative guide on virtually every aspect of criminal law practice. The new edition features up-to-date coverage, including March 2004 cases concerning the relationship between hearsay and the right to confront witnesses and extensive changes to parole revocation procedures implemented by a settlement in a federal civil case.

What hasn't changed is this book's unparalleled breadth and authority. Written by more than 60 attorneys and judges throughout California, this title covers arrest through post-conviction relief. There are chapters on discovery, pretrial motions, jury selection, misdemeanor, felony sentencing, and more-even a "client interview" chapter designed especially for the novice criminal defense attorney. Making this title even more practical are procedural deadline charts in every chapter and a thorough index using the parlance of the criminal law practitioner.
