This abridged edition uses the organization and methods that health law teachers and students have found so helpful over the last eight editions of the casebook. This book is designed specifically for survey courses in health law that aim at introducing students to the full range of health law issues in a single survey course. As with the full casebook, this abridged version includes chapters covering health care quality, access, equity, organization, finance, and bioethics, but some sections and chapters of the full casebook are deleted and note material is less comprehensive. This abridged version is well suited for health law courses taught in law schools with a single health law course and for courses taught in health administration, public health, and medical and other health professions programs. The book offers new cases, statutory materials, and classroom-tested problems, along with succinct and sharpened notes, comments, charts, and other teaching materials. It is fully up-to-date as of mid-2021, including the many issues raised by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This softcover book contains a complete, unchanged reprint of Chapters 1-10 and Chapter 14 of Dressler, Thomas, and Medwed's Criminal Procedure: Principles, Policies, and Perspectives, Seventh Edition. Please see that description for more about the style and approach of the book.

For two decades, Criminal Procedure: Principles, Policies, and Perspectives (and its softcover versions, Criminal Procedure: Investigating Crime and Criminal Procedure: Prosecuting Crime), written by Joshua Dressler, George C. Thomas III and now also Daniel S. Medwed, has sought to inspire students to analyze and critique constitutional and non-constitutional criminal procedure doctrine. The book features careful case selection and editing that includes dissenting and concurring opinions when useful in understanding the law. The Notes and Questions are uniformly thoughtful and sometimes even humorous. The Seventh Edition includes most of the cases and material that users have told us were successful in the past. The book continues to include "in the trenches" material that gives students an idea of what life is like inside the squad car, the interrogation room, and the courtroom. We have added new material: A new section, "America the Violent," which includes material about the role that violence has always played in our country By popular demand, the return of an "old faithful" case, Warden v. Hayden (on the exigency exception to the warrant "requirement") Carpenter v. United States, the critically important case on police access to historical cell phone records, a case which calls into question some prior "search" cases New Notes on other Fourth Amendment decisions since the prior edition on such matters as warrantless blood tests on unconscious motorists, warrantless searches of cars found in the curtilages of a home, and a case holding that a driver who is not the renter of a rental car may have standing to challenge a police search even though the renter was not in the vehicle A new section on Miranda waivers and their consequences In the Pretrial Release chapter, we have augmented the Notes to include important state-level developments in bail reform In the Case Screening chapter, we added new Notes to address recent changes in charging practices, including discussion of a growing movement by progressive county prosecutors to decline to charge certain categories of crimes, a trend that raises a number of questions about discretion, separation of powers, and intra-state disparities Discussion of how "big data" may have an impact on jury selection In the Trial chapter, new material on jury nullification and recent Supreme Court post-Batson cases Updated material throughout the book on the effects of racial and gender discrimination on the justice system

In the first book-length book on the subject in over a quarter century, George C. Thomas III advances an integrated theory of double jeopardy law, a theory anchored in historical, doctrinal, and philosophical method.

Despite popular belief, double jeopardy has never been a limitation on the legislature. It functions instead to keep prosecutors and judges from imposing more than one criminal judgment for the same offense. Determining when seemingly different offenses constitute the "same offense" is no easy task. Nor is it always easy to determine when a defendant has suffered more than one criminal judgment. Tracing American double jeopardy doctrine back to twelfth century English law, the book develops a jurisprudential account of double jeopardy that recognizes the central role of the legislature in creating criminal law blameworthiness.

This newly designed casebook provides the perfect balance between the challenges of the case method and the needs of undergraduate and graduate students who may, or may not, be headed to law school. The Law of Criminal Investigations: A College Casebook makes use of many of your favorite U.S. Supreme Court cases; edited to reflect the needs of undergraduate students, with Notes and Questions that help illuminate the case and show how it works in the real world. Also included are narratives and summaries that explain and synthesize some of the more complicated legal nuances found in the world of criminal procedure. Written by renowned law professors and authors, Joshua Dressler and George Thomas, who are now joined by Dr. Stephanie Lipson Mizrahi, this book will appeal to all criminal procedure teachers who want to offer their students more in-depth coverage and analysis of this important topic. Stephanie Lipson Mizrahi teaches in the Division of Criminal Justice at California State University, Sacramento in the areas of law, terrorism, homeland security, and emergency management. In addition to co-authoring The Law of Criminal Investigations: A College Casebook, Dr. Mizrahi has published in the areas of terrorism and homeland security, the death penalty and the International Criminal Court. Joshua Dressler is the author of law school treatises in both the Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure fields, as well as casebooks and numerous articles in both areas. He is also Editor-in-Chief of the most recent edition of the Encyclopedia of Crime and Justice. Professor Dressler is a Distinguished University Professor Emeritus and the Frank R. Strong Chair in Law Emeritus at the Michael E. Moritz College of Law, The Ohio State University George Thomas's research specialties include double jeopardy, police interrogation, and wrongful convictions. He has published numerous articles and books, including The Supreme Court on Trial and Confessions of Guilt (co-authored with Richard Leo). He is a Rutgers University Board of Governors Professor of Law.

The chief mandate of the criminal justice system is not to prosecute the guilty but to safeguard the innocent from wrongful convictions; with this startling assertion, legal scholar George Thomas launches his critique of the U.S. system and its emphasis on procedure at the expense of true justice.

Thomas traces the history of jury trials, an important component of the U.S. justice system, since the American Founding. In the mid-twentieth century, when it became evident that racism and other forms of discrimination were corrupting the system, the Warren Court established procedure as the most important element of criminal justice. As a result, police, prosecutors, and judges have become more concerned about following rules than about ensuring that the defendant is indeed guilty as charged. Recent cases of prisoners convicted of crimes they didn't commit demonstrate that such procedural justice cannot substitute for substantive justice.

American justices, Thomas concludes, should take a lesson from the French, who have instituted, among other measures, the creation of an independent court to review claims of innocence based on new evidence. Similar reforms in the United States would better enable the criminal justice system to fulfill its moral and legal obligation to prevent wrongful convictions.

"Thomas draws on his extensive knowledge of the field to elaborate his elegant and important thesis---that the American system of justice has lost sight of what ought to be its central purpose---protection of the innocent."
--Susan Bandes, Distinguished Research Professor of Law, DePaul University College of Law

"Thomas explores how America's adversary system evolved into one obsessed with procedure for its own sake or in the cause of restraining government power, giving short shrift to getting only the right guy. His stunning, thought-provoking, and unexpected recommendations should be of interest to every citizen who cares about justice."
--Andrew E. Taslitz, Professor of Law, Howard University School of Law

"An unflinching, insightful, and powerful critique of American criminal justice---and its deficiencies. George Thomas demonstrates once again why he is one of the nation's leading criminal procedure scholars. His knowledge of criminal law history and comparative criminal law is most impressive."
--Yale Kamisar, Distinguished Professor of Law, University of San Diego and Clarence Darrow Distinguished University Professor Emeritus of Law, University of Michigan

Has the American criminal justice system abandoned its duty to protect the innocent? ""The Supreme Court on Trial"" calls upon an impressive range of historical, empirical, and documentary evidence to conclude that our criminal justice system has done just that. Criminal justice expert George Thomas argues that the courts' efforts to protect privacy and autonomy result in thousands of wrongful convictions every year. His concluding chapters suggest a radically revised criminal procedure doctrine (based on the French inquisitorial model) that he feels will protect the presumption of innocence upon which any just society depends.
