Book excerpt: Criminal Procedures: Cases, Statutes, and Executive Materials is known for its focus on materials from multiple institutions, including primary materials from U.S. Supreme Court cases, state high court cases, state and federal statutes, rules of procedure, and police and prosecutorial policies, along with materials from social science studies. Taken together, the principal materials highlight procedural variety, focus on real-world topics, provide the political context, offer a comparative analysis of different legal approaches, and consider the impact of procedures. The 2024 Supplement covers the most recent decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court as well as newsworthy developments such as policing and bail reform, emerging legal responses to new surveillance technologies, and the backlash to progressive policies. New to the 2024 Edition: ● The 2024 Supplement incorporates all of the criminal procedure rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court since the October 2022 term, whether through reprinting opinions as principal materials or through summary coverage in new notes and practice problems. ● The Supplement includes opinions from high state courts that add texture to the doctrines described in the main volume; in some instances, the state courts interpret their state constitutional provisions more generously than the federal courts interpret the federal constitution. ● The Supplement also spotlights new legislative and enforcement trends, including proposals for limiting police use of force, “defunding” or reforming police departments, emerging legal responses to new surveillance technologies, bail reform (and the backlash generated by bail reform in some places), the declination policies that prosecutors publish and apply, and efforts by state legislatures to restrict the power of local prosecutors to respond to local priorities. ● The 2024 Supplement clearly delineates where the new material should appear in the authors’ three separate casebook versions: Criminal Procedures—The Police, Criminal Procedures—Prosecution and Adjudication, and the combined volume that is available in electronic format.
