    Utilizing the problem method, Cases and Problems in California Criminal Law not only teaches students the principles of California criminal law, but how to apply those principles. Each chapter begins with a real-world criminal law problem to be solved with the cases and statutes that follow. The need to analyze, distinguish, and interrelate various authorities serves to foster a deeper understanding of both substantive California law and the ways in which that law is applied.

    The Teacher's Manual (available only to professors) offers valuable suggestions for focusing class discussion and presenting the important issues raised by the book. It contains detailed analyses of the key elements of the cases and statutes in each chapter and the author's outlined answers to each chapter's problem.

    Professors and adjunct professors may request complimentary examination copies of LexisNexis law school publications to consider for class adoption or recommendation. Please identify the book(s) you wish to receive, provide your institutional contact information, and submit your request here.
